In lipid rafts, GM1 gangliosides serve a role in several signaling systems. GM1 gangliosides promote differentiation of various neuronal cells.

GM1 ganglioside lipids (monosialotetrahexosylgangliosides) belong to the group of gangliosides within the sphingolipids. Their structure consists of a ceramide backbone linked to an oligosaccharide unit made of five sugar molecules. In this analogue the one of the five sugars is fluorinated and the ceramide backbone is replaced by an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
