About ST3GAL2

Cytogenetic location: 16q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:70,375,977-70,439,100 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and 14 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in appendix (RPKM 6.9), spleen (RPKM 6.8) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein, which is a member of Glycosyltransferase family 29, can use the same acceptor substrates as does Sialyltransferase 4A. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
