    Summary
    Enables alpha-N-acetylneuraminate alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in sialylation. Located in early endosome and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; future brain; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human ST8SIA2 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
