The interactive graph below shows its immediate neighbors. All content is AI-synthesized from peer-reviewed literature.
The stepwise enzymatic synthesis of gangliosides — sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids highly enriched in neuronal membranes. Key enzymes include B4GALNT1 (GM2/GM3 synthase), ST3GAL5 (GM3 synthase), and B3GALT4 (GM1 synthase). Gangliosides GM1, GD1a, GD1b, and GT1b are crucial for synaptic transmission, neurotrophin signaling, and axon stability. Aberrant ganglioside metabolism is linked to gangliosidoses and Alzheimer's disease.
