Descriptor Spanish: Gangliósido G(M3)
Descriptor gangliósido G(M3)
Entry term(s) hematósido
sialil lactosil ceramida
Scope note: gangliósido presente en cantidad anómalamente elevada en el cerebro e hígado cuando existe una deficiencia de una enzima biosintética, G(M3):UDP-N-acetilgalactosaminiltransferasa. La deficiencia de esta enzima impide la formación del gangliósido G(M2) a partir del gangliósido G(M3), siendo esta la causa de una esfingolipidosis anabólica.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005679
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.
