ALPHA2,3-(N)-SIALYLTRANSFERASE

Uses

α-2,6-Sialyltransferase from Photobacterium damsela has been used in resialylation and restoration of sialic acids (SAs) in HRT-18G cells.

General Description

Human ST6Gal-I (β-galactoside α-2,6-sialyltransferase 1) is a member of the CAZy family GT29.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The terminal step of complex?N-glycan biosynthesis is catalysed by α-2,6-sialyltransferase (STs). Bacterial α(2,6)-STs possesses broader acceptor substrate specificity when compared to eukaryotic α(2,6)-STs.
