Gene:
ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 6
Gene ID:
207668
Symbol:
ST3GAL6
Species:
1000
Description:
Sialyltransferases catalyze the transfer of sialic acid from cytidine 5-prime monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuAc) to terminal positions of glycoprotein and glycolipid carbohydrate groups. Terminal NeuAc residues are key determinants of carbohydrate structures, such as the sialyl-Lewis X determinants, and are widely distributed in many cell types.[supplied by OMIM]
