CMAS - cytidine monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase Gene
Also Known as CSS
Species: Homo sapiens
About CMAS
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 249 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 46.2), colon (RPKM 38.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes an enzyme that converts N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuNAc) to cytidine 5'-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuNAc). This process is important in the formation of sialylated glycoprotein and glycolipids. This modification plays a role in cell-cell communications and immune responses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
