The Forssman antigen was named after the Swedish pathologist John F. Forssman and later identified as the GalNAcα(1-3)GalNAcβ(1-R) disaccharide group. Forssman specificity was described in many animal species, plants and bacteria. In the mouse, Forssman antigen is a developmental and differentiation antigen. Expression of Forssman antigen in macrophages can be modulated by cytokines.Synonyms: 3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1, Forssman glycolipid synthase-like protein, Globoside alpha-1
