Characterization of mouse sialyltransferase genes: their evolution and diversity.

Abstract excerpt

Sialic acids are negatively charged acidic sugars, and sialylglycoconjugates often play important roles in various biological phenomena. Sialyltransferases are involved in the synthesis of sialylglycoconjugates, and 20 members of the mammalian sialyltransferase family have been identified to date. These sialyltransferases are grouped into four families according to the carbohydrate linkages they synthesize:...
