Entrez Gene summary for ST3GAL2 Gene:

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 is normally found in the Golgi but can be

proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29,

can use the same acceptor substrates as does sialyltransferase 4A. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for ST3GAL2 Gene:

ST3GAL2 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with ST3GAL2 include kidney fibrosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma. GO annotations related to this gene include beta-galactoside (CMP) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. An important paralog of this gene is ST3GAL3.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: SIA4B_HUMAN, Q16842

Function: It may be responsible for the synthesis of the sequence NeuAc-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc- found in

terminal carbohydrate groups of certain glycoproteins, oligosaccharides and glycolipids. SIAT4A and SIAT4B

sialylate the same acceptor substrates but exhibit different Km values
