Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Ganglioside GM3
  • GM3, Ganglioside
  • Hematoside
  • II3NeuAcLacCer
  • Lactosylceramide, Sialyl
  • Sialyl Lactosylceramide
  • Sialyllactosylceramide

Note

  • G(M3) gangliosidosis: coord NIM with GANGLIOSIDOSIS (IM)

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 91(77); was see under GANGLIOSIDES 1977-90
