Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 20451 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha-N-acetylneuraminate alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process and sialylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in brain; cortical plate; and testis. Orthologous to human ST8SIA3 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects sialylation of N- and O-glycans in the striatum.
