Gene: St8sia1 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: St8sia1
Name: ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1
RGD ID: 3679
Description: Enables sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-glycan processing; oligosaccharide metabolic process; and protein glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to heat and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Orthologous to human ST8SIA1 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1); PARTICIPATES IN ganglioside metabolic pathway; globoside metabolic pathway; lacto-series glycosphingolipid metabolic pathway; INTERACTS WITH acetamide; alpha-Zearalanol; ammonium chloride.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED

RGD Curation Notes
Note Type Note Reference
gene_disease may be involved in Alzheimers Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease since elevated GD3 levels have been seen in the brains from these patients 625459
gene_expression expressed in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, cerebellum and spleen 633966
gene_process activity is necessary for beta-amyloid peptide induced GD3 upregulation which leads to induction of neuronal apoptosis 625459
