Lactosylceramide alpha-23-sialyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ST3GAL5 gene.Ganglioside GM3 is known to participate in the induction of cell differentiation modulation of cell proliferation maintenance of fibroblast morphology signal transduction and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein which catalyzes the formation of GM3 using lactosylceramide as the substrate.
