| Accepted name: |
N-acetylglucosaminide α-(2,6)-sialyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
CMP-N-acetyl-β-neuraminate + N-acetyl-α-neuraminyl-(2→3)-β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-R = CMP + N-acetyl-α-neuraminyl-(2→3)-β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-[N-acetyl-α-neuraminyl-(2→6)]-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-R |
| Other name(s): |
α-N-acetylneuraminyl-2,3-β-galactosyl-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminide 6-α-sialyltransferase; N-acetylglucosaminide (α 2→6)-sialyltransferase; ST6GlcNAc |
| Systematic name: |
CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:N-acetyl-α-neuraminyl-(2→3)-β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine-6-α-N-acetylneuraminyltransferase (configuration-inverting) |
| Comments: |
Attaches N-acetylneuraminic acid in α-2,6-linkage to N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine. The enzyme from rat liver also acts on β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl residues, but more slowly. |
