== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: GM2 and GD2 gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T is the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of G(M2) and G(D2) glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T catalyzes the transfer of GalNAc into G(M3) and G(D3) by a beta-1,4 linkage, resulting in the synthesis of G(M2) and G(D2), respectively. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013].
* **UniProt Summary**: Involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides GM2, GD2 and GA2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1601877}.
