Gene:
ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2
Gene ID:
199492
Symbol:
ST3GAL2
Species:
1000
Description:
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 but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, can use the same acceptor substrates as does sialyltransferase 4A.
