QuickView for ST6Gal2 (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- ST6GAL2
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2
- Synonyms:
- SIAT2, ST6GalII, beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2, CMP-N-acetylneuraminate-beta-galactosamide-alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2, ST6 beta-galactosamide alpha-2,6-sialyltranferase 2, alpha 2,6-ST 2, beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase II, sialyltransferase 2 (monosialoganglioside sialyltransferase)
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 2: 106789538-106869982
- Description:
-
This locus encodes a sialyltransferase. The encoded type II transmembrane protein catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP to an oligosaccharide substrate. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with variations in risperidone response in schizophrenic patients. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
