St3gal1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable beta-galactoside (CMP) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; memory B cell differentiation; and protein modification process. Predicted to act upstream of or within 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. Orthologous to human ST3GAL1 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat 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.
