Gene information for ST6GAL1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6480
Official gene symbolST6GAL1
Full nameST6 beta-galactosamide alpha-2,6-sialyltranferase 1
Aliases,MGC48859,SIAT1,ST6GalI,ST6N,
Gene summaryThis 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. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
