Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in oligosaccharide metabolic process and sialylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within N-acetylneuraminate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; skeletal muscle; and spleen. Orthologous to human ST6GAL2 (ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2).
