Term ID

GO:0010706

Synonyms

• biosynthesis of lactosylceramide precursor to ganglioside
• ganglioside biosynthesis via lactosylceramide biosynthesis
• lactosylceramide biosynthesis leading to ganglioside
• lactosylceramide biosynthetic process leading to ganglioside

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of gangliosides that begins with the formation of lactosylceramides, Gal-beta-(1->4)-Glc-beta-(1->1') ceramides, any compound formed by the replacement of the glycosidic C1 hydroxyl group of lactose by a ceramide group.
