Summary
Enables sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-glycan processing; oligosaccharide metabolic process; and protein glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to heat and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Orthologous to human ST8SIA1 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
