Other name(s): | CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:D-galactosyl-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-(N-acetylneuraminyl)-D-galactosyl-D-glucosyl-(1↔1)-ceramide N-acetylneuraminyltransferase (ambiguous); monosialoganglioside sialyltransferase; CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:a β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-galactosaminyl-(1→4)-[α-N-acetylneuraminyl-(2→3)]-β-D-galactosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucosyl-(1↔1)-ceramide N-acetyl-β-neuraminyltransferase | ||||
Systematic name: | CMP-N-acetyl-β-neuraminate:a β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-galactosaminyl-R α-(2→3)-N-acetylneuraminyltransferase (configuration-inverting) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme recognizes the sequence β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl (known as type 1 histo-blood group precursor disaccharide) in non-reducing termini of glycan moieties in glycoproteins and glycolipids [1]. When acting on gangloside GM1a, it forms gangloside GD1a [2]. | ||||
