ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2
Alias
SAITL1 | SIAT7 | SIAT7B | SIATL1 | ST6GalNAII | STHM
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, Mar 2008].
