ST8SIAperheelle
ST8SIAperheelle is a member of the ST8SIA family of enzymes, which are sialyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of sialylated glycoconjugates. These enzymes are crucial for the addition of sialic acid residues to glycoproteins and glycolipids, processes that play significant roles in various biological functions, including cell-cell interactions, immune responses, and signal transduction.
The ST8SIAperheelle enzyme is specifically involved in the synthesis of polysialic acid (polySia), a unique carbohydrate
ST8SIAperheelle is expressed in various tissues, with notable levels found in the brain and other neural tissues.
Mutations or alterations in the ST8SIAperheelle gene have been linked to several neurological disorders, highlighting the
