ST8SIA6 - ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6 Gene
Also Known as SIA8F; SIAT8F; SIAT8-F; ST8SiaVI; ST8SIA-VI
Species: Homo sapiens
About ST8SIA6
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 125 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 3.3), heart (RPKM 1.0) and 14 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Glycosyltransferase 29 protein family. Members of this protein family synthesize sialylglycoconjugates. Sialylation may contribute to multidrug resistance in Cancer cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
