Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in host-mediated regulation of intestinal microbiota composition. Acts upstream of or within oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in colon; mammary gland; and salivary gland. Used to study inflammatory bowel disease. Orthologous to human ST6GALNAC1 (ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1).
