About ST8SIA6

Cytogenetic location: 10p12.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:17,315,421-17,454,595 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 125 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 3.3), heart (RPKM 1.0) and 14 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Glycosyltransferase 29 protein family. Members of this protein family synthesize sialylglycoconjugates. Sialylation may contribute to multidrug resistance in Cancer cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
