| Name | ST8SIA4 (HGNC:10871) |
|---|---|
| Function | Catalyzes the transfer of a sialic acid from a CMP-linked sialic acid donor onto a terminal alpha-2,3-, alpha-2,6-, or alpha-2,8- linked sialic acid of an N-linked glycan protein acceptor through alpha-2,8-linkages (PubMed:10766765, PubMed:11279095, PubMed:28810663, PubMed:9774483). Therefore, participates in polysialic acid synthesis on various sialylated N-acetyllactosaminyl oligosaccharides, including NCAM1 N-glycans, FETUB N-glycans and AHSG (PubMed:10766765, PubMed:11279095, PubMed:28810663, PubMed:9774483). It is noteworthy that alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid is apparently a better acceptor than alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid (PubMed:9774483). |
| Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Secreted |
| Tissue Location | Highly expressed in fetal brain, lung and kidney and in adult heart, spleen and thymus (PubMed:7624364). Present to a lesser extent in adult brain, placenta, lung, large and small intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes (PubMed:7624364) |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the polycondensation of alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid required for the synthesis of polysialic acid, a modulator of the adhesive properties of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM1). The encoded protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, is a type II membrane protein that may be present in the Golgi apparatus.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
