SIAE sialic acid acetylesterase

Gene ID: 54414, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LSE; AIS6; CSEC; YSG2; CSE-C

Summary

This gene encodes an enzyme which removes 9-O-acetylation modifications from sialic acids. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disease 6. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms, found either in the cytosol or in the lysosome, have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
