Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25216636 |
| Year | 2014 |
| Title | Regulation of astrocyte activation by glycolipids drives chronic CNS inflammation |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | We found increased expression of B4GALT5 (2.15±0.28 fold) and B4GALT6 (8.26±2.11 fold) in MS lesions, but not in normal appearing white matter (NAWM) or controls |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The increased expression of B4GALT5/6 was linked to increased LacCer levels in MS lesions |
