Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; liver; spleen; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in salt and pepper syndrome. Orthologous to human ST3GAL5 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 5).
