Gangliosides, i. e. sialic acid containing glycosphingolipids, constitute a major component of neuronal cells and are thought to be essential for brain function. UDP-glucose: ceramide glucosyl-transferase (Ugcg) catalyzes the initial step of glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis. A total deletion of the Ugcg-gene in mice led to embryonic lethality. In order to gain insight into the role of gangliosides in brain development and function, a cell specific disruption of Ugcg was performed.
