Gene: ST6GALNAC5

Alternate names for this Gene: SIAT7-E|SIAT7E|ST6GalNAcV

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a Golgi type II transmembrane glycosyltransferase. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid to cell surface proteins to modulate cell-cell interactions. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p31.1

Description of this Gene: ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
