QuickView for ST3GAL6;jsessionid=7D29A8820CE63C1EE5AFBA827D143A08 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

ST3GAL6 Homo sapiens

Full name:

ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 6

Synonyms:

SIAT10, ST3GALVI, type 2 lactosamine alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase, CMP-NeuAc:beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase VI, alpha2,3-sialyltransferase ST3Gal VI, sialyltransferase 10 (alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase VI)

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 99934262-99995927

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the sialyltransferase family. Members of this family are enzymes that transfer sialic acid from the activated cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid to terminal positions on sialylated glycolipids (gangliosides) or to the N- or O-linked sugar chains of glycoproteins. This protein has high spe...

View Full Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the sialyltransferase family. Members of this family are enzymes that transfer sialic acid from the activated cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid to terminal positions on sialylated glycolipids (gangliosides) or to the N- or O-linked sugar chains of glycoproteins. This protein has high specificity for neolactotetraosylceramide and neolactohexaosylceramide as glycolipid substrates and may contribute to the formation of selectin ligands and sialyl Lewis X, a carbohydrate important for cell-to-cell recognition and a blood group antigen.
