Description
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.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
