Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
ST6GALNAC3 belongs to a family of sialyltransferases that transfer sialic acids from CMP-sialic acid to terminal positions of carbohydrate groups in glycoproteins and glycolipids (Lee et al., 1999 [PubMed 10207017]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] |

| Protein name |
Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 3 (EC 2.4.3.7) (GalNAc alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase III) (ST6GalNAc III) (ST6GalNAcIII) (STY) (Sialyltransferase 7C) (SIAT7-C) |
| Protein function |
Transfers the sialyl group (N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminyl or NeuAc) from CMP-NeuAc to the GalNAc residue on the NeuAc-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc sequence of glycoproteins and glycolipids forming an alpha-2,6-linkage. Produces branched type disial |
