ST6GalNAc family members are alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferases that catalyze an alpha-2,6-linkage between sialic acid and the N-acetylgalactosamine residues of glycochains through an 2,6-linkage, by transfering sialic acid from CMP-Sia. ST6GalNAc1 utilize mainly GalNAc-,Galbeta1,3GalNAc-, and Sia2,3Galbeta1,3GalNAc on O-glycans of glycoproteins as acceptors. The ST6GalNac family belongs to glycosyltransferase family 29 (GT29).
