alpha-2,8-Sialyltransferase (CstII)
alpha-2,8-Sialyltransferase
alpha-2,8-Sialyltransferase (CstII) is an enzyme belonging to the alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase family, specifically identified as ST8Sia VI. This enzyme catalyzes the extension of α2,8-linked oligo/polysialic acid chains by transferring sialic acid residues onto existing sialic acid entities. alpha-2,8-Sialyltransferase (CstII) is essential for studying polysialylation processes and has implications in neurobiology and cancer research, where polysialic acid plays a critical role in cell adhesion and signaling.
