GM2 is a type of ganglioside. Ganglioside is a compound composed of a Glycosphingolipid ( Ceramide and Oligosaccharide) with one or more Sialic acids (AKA N-acetylneuraminic
It is associated with GM2 gangliosidoses (for example, Tay-Sachs disease. The GM2 Gangliosidoses cause the body to store excess acidic fatty materials in tissues and cells most notably in nerve cells Tay-Sachs disease (abbreviated TSD, also known as GM2 Gangliosidosis, Hexosaminidase A deficiency or Sphingolipidosis) is a Genetic )[1]
