| Function | Transfers the sialyl group (N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminyl or NeuAc) from CMP-NeuAc to the non-reducing terminal galactose (Gal) of glycosphingolipids forming gangliosides (important molecules involved in the regulation of multiple cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis, embryogenesis, development, and oncogenesis) (PubMed:16934889, PubMed:9822625). Mainly involved in the biosynthesis of ganglioside GM3 but can also use different glycolipids as substrate acceptors such as D- galactosylceramide (GalCer), asialo-GM2 (GA2) and asialo-GM1 (GA1), although less preferentially than beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Glc-(1<->1)- Cer (LacCer) (PubMed:16934889). |
| Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single- pass type II membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. High expression in brain, skeletal muscle, placenta, and testis. mRNA widely distributed in human brain, but slightly elevated expression was observed in the cerebral cortex, temporal lobe, and putamen. |

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.
