Official gene symbol | | ST3GAL3 |
Full name | | ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3 |
Aliases | | ,SIAT6,ST3GALII,ST3GalIII,ST3N, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
