IUBMB Comments

This enzyme catalyses the formation of the gangliosides (i.e. sialic-acid-containing glycosphingolipids) GM2, GD2 and SM2 from GM3, GD3 and SM3, respectively. Asialo-GM3 and lactosylceramide are also substrates, but glycoproteins and oligosaccharides are not substrates.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria

Synonyms
gm3 synthase, gm2 synthase, gm2/gd2 synthase, gd2 synthase, gd2/gm2 synthase, beta1,4-n-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, beta4galnacta, n-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase i, galgt1, st3gal v, more
