Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in protein N-linked glycosylation via asparagine. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi medial cisterna; Golgi membrane; and Golgi trans cisterna. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ST6GAL1 (ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1).
