ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Function
This locus encodes a sialyltransferase. The encoded type II transmembrane protein catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP to an oligosaccharide substrate. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with variations in risperidone response in schizophrenic patients. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
