Description

Globotriaosylceramide is a ganglioside. It is also known as "ceramide trihexoside". It is also known as "CD77". It is one of the few clusters of differentiation that is not a protein.

It is formed by A4GALT and is metabolized by Alpha-galactosidase.

Defects in the enzyme alpha-galactosidase lead to the build up of globotriaosylceramide, and this is the cause of Fabry's disease. Globotriaosylceramide is also the one of the targets of Shiga toxin, which is responsible for pathogenicity of Escherichia coli.
