ST6GalNAc2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Alpha-N-Acetylgalactosaminide α-2,6-Sialyltransferase 2 (ST6GALNAC2) belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family that adds sialic acids to the non-reducing ends of glycoconjugates. At the cell surface, these modifications play roles in cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, bacterial adhesion and protein targeting. ST6GALNAC2 is localized to the Golgi apparatus membrane. ST6GALNAC2 is highly expressed in lactating mammary glands and the adult testis; it is expressed at lower levels in the kidney. ST6GALNAC2 can catalyze 2,6-sialylation of the Tn antigen.
