Description

Sialyltransferases are enzymes that transfer sialic acid to nascent oligosaccharide. Each sialyltransferase is specific for a particular sugar substrate. Sialyltransferases add sialic acid to the terminal portions of the sialylated glycolipids (gangliosides) or to the N-or O-linked sugar chains of glycoproteins.

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 1 μmol Siaα2,6Lac from CMP-Sia and Lactose per minute at 37 °C.
