β-Galactoside α-2,6-sialyltransferase

Description:
β-Galactoside α-2,6-sialyltransferase, also known by its enzyme classification number (EC 2.4.99.1), is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid to β-galactosides, specifically adding sialic acid in an α-2,6 linkage. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, influencing various biological processes such as cell-cell recognition, signaling, and immune response. It is particularly important in the modification of glycoproteins on cell surfaces, affecting their stability and function. The enzyme is typically found in various tissues, including the brain and liver, and is involved in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates. Its activity can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of specific substrates or inhibitors. Understanding the characteristics and functions of β-Galactoside α-2,6-sialyltransferase is essential for research in biochemistry and molecular biology, particularly in the context of cell biology and disease mechanisms.
