Names

[ CAS No. ]:
67338-98-1

[ Name ]:
beta-1,4-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase

Biological Activity

[Description]:

beta-1,4-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2/GD2 synthase) is a key enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of GM3, GD3 and lactosylceramide (LacCer) to GM2, GD2 and asialo-GM2 (GA2), respectively. beta-1,4-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase is a key enzyme to control the synthesis of brain-enriched complex gangliosides[1].
