Description

ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6

Gene Summary

Enables sialyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and oligosaccharide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst hatching; glycolipid biosynthetic process; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; hindgut diverticulum; nasal cavity epithelium; and notochord. Orthologous to human ST8SIA6 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
