Gene: ST6GAL1
Alternate names for this Gene: SIAT1|ST6GalI|ST6N
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. The encoded protein is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The protein, which is normally found in the Golgi but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form, is involved in the generation of the cell-surface carbohydrate determinants and differentiation antigens HB-6, CD75, and CD76. This gene has been incorrectly referred to as CD75. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q27.3
Description of this Gene: ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
