St8sia4 - ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 4 Gene

Also Known as PST; PST-1; Siat8d; SIAT8-D; ST8SiaIV

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 20452

Summary

Enables alpha-N-acetylneuraminate alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and oligosaccharide metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Orthologous to human ST8SIA4 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
