Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide metabolic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and oligosaccharide metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine gland; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ST6GALNAC3 (ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit no abnormal phenotype. Double homozygotes lacking St6galnac3 and St6galnac4 exhibit lymph node hemorrhage associated with structural disruption of high endothelial venule. [provided by MGI curators] |
