Protein name Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 5 (EC 2.4.99.-) (GD1 alpha synthase) (GalNAc alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase V) (ST6GalNAc V) (ST6GalNAcV) (Sialyltransferase 7E) (SIAT7-E)
Protein function Predominantly catalyzes the biosynthesis of ganglioside GD1alpha from GM1b in the brain, by transferring 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 sequen
