beta galactoside alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase 1 |
| 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 15.
