The Ganglioside GM2 activator protein (GM2A) is a small lysosomal lipid transfer protein that extracts a single GM2 molecule from membranes and presents it in a soluble form to beta-hexosaminidase A for cleavage (Wright et al. 2003). Defects in GM2A are the cause of GM2-gangliosidosis type AB (GM2GAB) (MIM:272750), also known as Tay-Sachs disease AB variant (Schroeder et al. 1991).
