St3gal1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables beta-galactoside (CMP) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; memory B cell differentiation; and negative regulation of activated CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi medial cisterna membrane; Golgi trans cisterna membrane; and trans-Golgi network membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ear; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ST3GAL1 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse St3gal1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
