| ncRNA Symbol: | ST3GAL6 | | Full Name: | ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 6 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | SIAT10|ST3GALVI | | Chromosome: | chr3 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 98732236 | End Site(bp): | 98821201 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the sialyltransferase family. Members of this family are enzymes that transfer sialic acid from the activated cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid to terminal positions on sialylated glycolipids (gangliosides) or to the N- or O-linked sugar chains of glycoproteins. This protein has high specificity for neolactotetraosylceramide and neolactohexaosylceramide as glycolipid substrates and may contribute to the formation of selectin ligands and sialyl Lewis X, a carbohydrate important for cell-to-cell recognition and a blood group antigen.
