General description
Sialyltransferases belongs to the glycosyltransferases family with the capability of catalyzing the transfer of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues. It is a multifunctional enzyme with α-2,3-sialyltransferase activity, α-2,6-sialyltransferase activity, sialidase activity, and trans-sialidase activity. It has a molar mass of 46.4 kDa, with pI, pH being 5.94 and 7.5-8.5 respectively.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sialyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of Neu5Ac from CMP-Neu5Ac as a donor substrate to the β-D-galactosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl termini of acceptor molecules including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides.
Sialyltransferase transfers Neu5Ac from CMP-Neu5Ac to the galactosyl terminus of acceptor molecules including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing Tris-HCl and NaCl
Preparation Note
Reconstitute the lyophilized powder with a volume of water in the range of 0.1 mL to 1 mL, to give a concentration in the range of 1 unit/mL (1 mL volume of water) to 10 units/mL (0.1 mL volume of water).
Analysis Note
Enzymatic activity assays performed in Tris-HCl buffer (100 mM, pH 8.0) containing CMP-Neu-5Ac (1 mM) and Lac-β−OMU (1 mM) at 37°C for 30 min and analyzed using HPLC with a fluorescence detector (excitation at 325 nm and emission at 372 nm).
Other Notes
One unit will catalyze the formation of 1.0 μmol Neu-5-Ac-α-2,3LacMU from CMP-Neu-5-Ac and Lac-β−OMU per minute at 37 °C at pH 8.0.

Multiple linkage and association studies have suggested chromosome 8q24 as a promising candidate region for bipolar disorder (BP). We performed a detailed association analysis assessing the contribution of common genetic variation in this region to the risk of BP. We

Bacterially expressed proteins used in NMR studies lack glycans, and proteins from other organisms are neither 15N labeled nor glycosylated homogeneously. Here, we add two artificial glycans to uniformly 15N labeled prion protein using a buffer system that evolves over

The ability of leukocytes to navigate through the different body compartments is an essential component for functioning immune defense and surveillance systems. In order to exit the blood circulation, leukocytes follow distinct recruitment steps, including capture of free-flowing leukocytes to

Sialyltransferases catalyze reactions that transfer a sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to an acceptor (a structure terminated with galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, or sialic acid). They are key enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates that play
