DescriptionFUNCTION: Protein sialyltransferase specifically expressed in goblet cells that plays a key role in intestinal host-commensal homeostasis . Conjugates sialic acid with an alpha-2-6 linkage to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) glycan chains linked to serine or threonine in glycoproteins . Catalyzes the formation of the sialyl-Tn (S-Tn) antigen, an antigen found in intestinal goblet cells, as well as ulcerative colitis (UC) and various cancers . Protein sialylation in globlet cells is essential for mucus integrity and is required to protect the intestinal mucus against excessive bacterial proteolytic degradation . .
