Gene: ST8SIA6

Alternate names for this Gene: SIA8F|SIAT8-F|SIAT8F|ST8SIA-VI|ST8SiaVI

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 29 protein family. Members of this protein family synthesize sialylglycoconjugates. Sialylation may contribute to multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10p12.33

Description of this Gene: ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6

Type of Gene: protein-coding
