Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function A beta-galactoside alpha2-3 sialyltransferase involved in terminal sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids (PubMed:12097641) (By similarity). Catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid (N-acetyl-neuraminic acid; Neu5Ac) from the nucleotide sugar donor CMP-Neu5Ac onto acceptor Galbeta-(1->3)-GalNAc- and Galbeta-(1->4)-GlcNAc-terminated glycoconjugates through an alpha2-3 linkage (PubMed:9184827) (By similarity). Plays a major role in hemostasis. Responsible for sialylation of plasma VWF/von Willebrand factor, preventing its recognition by asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) and subsequent clearance. Regulates ASGPR-mediated clearance of platelets (PubMed:12097641). Participates in the biosynthesis of the sialyl Lewis X epitopes, both on O- and N-glycans, which are recognized by SELE/E-selectin, SELP/P-selectin and SELL/L-selectin. Essential for selectin-mediated rolling and adhesion of leukocytes during extravasation (PubMed:25498912). Contributes to adhesion and transendothelial migration of neutrophils likely through terminal sialylation of CXCR2 (PubMed:18519646). In glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, sialylates GM1 and GA1 gangliosides to form GD1a and GM1b, respectively (By similarity). Metabolizes brain c-series ganglioside GT1c forming GQ1c (By similarity). Synthesizes ganglioside LM1 (IV3Neu5Ac-nLc4Cer), a major structural component of peripheral nerve myelin (By similarity).
