G(M3) Ganglioside
Hematoside | Sialyllactosylceramide | Ganglioside GM3 | II3NeuAcLacCer | Sialyl Lactosylceramide | GM3, Ganglioside | Lactosylceramide, Sialyl
A ganglioside present in abnormally large amounts in the brain and liver due to a deficient biosynthetic enzyme, G(M3):UDP-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. Deficiency of this enzyme prevents the formation of G(M2) ganglioside from G(M3) ganglioside and is the cause of an anabolic sphingolipidosis. |
