Gene: ST6GALNAC2

Alternate names for this Gene: SAITL1|SIAT7|SIAT7B|SIATL1|ST6GalNAII|STHM

Gene Summary: ST6GALNAC2 belongs to a family of sialyltransferases that add sialic acids to the nonreducing ends of glycoconjugates. At the cell surface, these modifications have roles in cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, bacterial adhesion, and protein targeting (Samyn-Petit et al., 2000 [PubMed 10742600]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
