Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 10610
Gene name ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2
Gene symbol ST6GALNAC2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
SAITL1SIAT7SIAT7BSIATL1ST6GalNAIISTHM
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q25.1
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 target
