Bioactivity | beta-1,4-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (CgtA) (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 (CgtA) is a key enzyme to control the synthesis of brain-enriched complex gangliosides[1]. |
