in living cells. This is the first substrate that enables the ratiometric fluorogenic assay of sphingolipid ceramide N‐deacylase and endoglycoceramidase and can detect and localize neuraminidase activity in living cells. It is therefore a valuable tool for building a better understanding of membrane‐confined enzymology. It also enables the robust and reliable assay of ganglioside‐degrading enzymes in
神经节苷脂是细胞膜中重要的信号分子,并由几种酶处理。这些酶的缺乏会导致人类溶酶体贮积病。建立对糖鞘脂分解代谢途径的了解需要分析这些酶活性的方法。通过化学方法合成了GM3衍生的FRET探针,用于检测和定量细胞裂解液和活细胞中各种神经节苷脂降解酶。这是第一个能够对鞘脂神经酰胺N-脱酰基酶和糖苷内酰胺酶进行荧光定量测定并能检测和定位活细胞中神经氨酸酶活性的底物。因此,它是建立对膜限制酶学的更好理解的有价值的工具。
