Bioassay Technology Laboratory's SIA7D Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody.
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein prefers glycoproteins rather than glycolipids as substrates and shows restricted substrate specificity: utilizing only the trisaccharide sequence Neu5Ac-alpha-2:3-Gal-beta-1:3-GalNAc. In addition: it is involved in the synthesis of ganglioside GD1A from GM1B. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
