Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in glycosphingolipid biosynthetic process and oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ST6GALNAC5 (ST6 N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 5).
