Record overview

LMPD IDLMP002718
Gene ID29906
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene NameST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 5
Gene SymbolST8SIA5
SynonymsSIAT8E; ST8SiaV
Chromosome18
Map Location18q21.1
SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that may be present in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, may be involved in the synthesis of gangliosides GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b, and GT3 from GD1a, GT1b, GM1b, and GD3, respectively.
