α-2,3/8-sialyltransferase from Campylobacter jejuni, Recombinant

Cat No.

NATE-1476

Description

Sialyltransferases are enzymes that transfer sialic acid to nascent oligosaccharide. Each sialyltransferase is specific for a particular sugar substrate. Sialyltransferases add sialic acid to the terminal portions of the sialylated glycolipids (gangliosides) or to the N-or O-linked sugar chains of glycoproteins. Sialyltransferases belong to glycosyltransferase family 29 (CAZY GT_29) which use a nucleotide monophosphosugar as the donor (CMP-NeuA) instead of a nucleotide diphosphosugar.
