INTRODUCTION
ST3 Beta-Galactoside Alpha-2,3-Sialyltransferase 5, also know as ST3GAL5 belongs to the glycosyltransferase family 29 and localized to the Golgi apparatus. ST3GAL5 is known to play a part in the induction of cell differentiation, modulation of cell proliferation, maintenance of fibroblast morphology, signal transduction, and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. ST3GAL5 is a type II membrane protein which catalyzes the formation of GM3 with lactosylceramide as the substrate. Mutation in this ST3GAL5 has been connected with Amish infantile epilepsy syndrome. Transcript variants encoding various isoforms have been found for this gene.

DESCRIPTION
ST3GAL5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 359 amino acids (83-418a.a) and having a molecular mass of 41kDa. ST3GAL5 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
