Figure 3From: Sphingolipids: the nexus between Gaucher disease and insulin resistanceSchematic of ganglioside synthesis. Structures and synthetic pathways for the gangliosides. Synthesis is depicted starting with lactosylceramide (LacCer). GalNAc-T, GA2/GM2/GD2/GT2 synthase; GalT-II, GA1/GM1/GD1b/GT1c synthase; ST-IV, GM1b/GD1a/GT1b/GQ1c synthase; ST-V, GD1c/GT1a/GQ1b/GT3 synthase; ST-VII, GD1a/GT1aα/GQ1bα/GP1cα synthase.Back to article page
