Gene information for ST6GALNAC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10610
Official gene symbolST6GALNAC2
Full nameST6 (alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminyl-2,3-beta-galactosyl-1,3)-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2
Aliases,FLJ45660,SAITL1,SIAT7,SIAT7B,SIATL1,ST6GalNAII,STHM,
Gene summaryST6GALNAC2 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]
