| Entrez gene ID | 10610 |
| Official gene symbol | ST6GALNAC2 |
| Full name | ST6 (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 summary | ST6GALNAC2 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] |
