Relationship of membrane phospholipid composition, lactosylceramide molecular species, and the specificity of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:lactosylceramide alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase to the molecular species composition of GM3 ganglioside.

The ceramide molecular species specificity of rat brain neuron CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:lactosylceramide alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase (LacCer alpha 2,3-ST) was determined using 19 molecular species of lactosylceramide incorporated into liposomes prepared with purified rat brain phospholipids. The neur...
