GM2A Proteins and Enzymes

GM2A, also known as Ganglioside GM2 activator, is a 193 amino acid that is 21 kDa, with lysosome subcellular location, acts as s a lipid transfer protein that stimulates the enzymatic processing of gangliosides and T-cell activation; acts as a substrate specific co-factor for the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase A which, together with this activator, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2; also displays some calcium-independent phospholipase activity.
