Background
| Function | FUNCTION: The large binding pocket can accommodate several single chain phospholipids and fatty acids, GM2A also exhibits some calcium-independent phospholipase activity (By similarity). Binds gangliosides and stimulates ganglioside GM2 degradation. It stimulates only the breakdown of ganglioside GM2 and glycolipid GA2 by beta-hexosaminidase A. It extracts single GM2 molecules from membranes and presents them in soluble form to beta-hexosaminidase A for cleavage of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and conversion to GM3 (By similarity). Has cholesterol transfer activity (PubMed:17552909). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60648, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17552909}. |
