Primary Identifier | MGI:98304 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 20442 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables beta-galactoside (CMP) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; memory B cell differentiation; and negative regulation of activated CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi medial cisterna membrane; Golgi trans cisterna membrane; and trans-Golgi network membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ear; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ST3GAL1 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in altered terminal glycosylation. [provided by MGI curators] |
