Preferred Label : sialyltransferases;
MeSH definition : A group of enzymes with the general formula CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:acceptor N-acetylneuraminyl
transferase. They catalyze the transfer of N-acetylneuraminic acid from CMP-N-acetylneuraminic
acid to an acceptor, which is usually the terminal sugar residue of an oligosaccharide,
a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid. EC 2.4.99.-.; A group of enzymes with the general activity CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:acceptor N-acetylneuraminyl
transferase. They catalyze the transfer of N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID from CMP-N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC
ACID to an acceptor, which is usually the terminal sugar residue of an oligosaccharide,
a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid.;
