  • Title: Axonal transport of gangliosides in the goldfish optic nerve.
    Author: Forman DS, Ledeen RW.
    Journal: Science; 1972 Aug 18; 177(4049):630-3. PubMed ID: 5049309.
    Abstract:
    Radioactive glucosamine and N-acetylmannosamine injected into the goldfish eye are incorporated into gangliosides that undergo rapid axonal transport to the optic nerve terminals. All ganglioside fractions are labeled. These data provide the first evidence that axonal transport has a role in neuronal ganglioside function and metabolism.
