Term Name: | lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity |
---|---|
Synonyms: | CMP-acetylneuraminate-lactosylceramide-sialyltransferase, cytidine monophosphoacetylneuraminate-lactosylceramide alpha2,3- sialyltransferase activity, cytidine monophosphoacetylneuraminate-lactosylceramide sialyltransferase, ganglioside GM3 synthase activity, GM3 synthase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: cytolipin-H + CMP-N-acetylneuraminate = alpha-N-acetylneuraminyl-2,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosylceramide + CMP. Alpha-N-acetylneuraminyl-2,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosylceramide is also known as GM3. |
