Symbol: St8sia2
Full name: ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: ST8SiaII; STX; Siat8b
Summary: Enables alpha-N-acetylneuraminate alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and neuron projection extension. Located in early endosome and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; gut; and retina. Orthologous to human ST8SIA2 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
