It can form polysialic acid in vitro directly on alpha-2,3-, alpha-2,6-, or alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid. Ref.1 Ref.2Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation.Subcellular location: Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Potential. Tissue specificity: Expressed in fetal and adult brain and fetal liver. Ref.1Sequence similarities: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family.
