Summary: Enables sialyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and oligosaccharide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst hatching; glycolipid biosynthetic process; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; hindgut diverticulum; notochord; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human ST8SIA6 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
