    Summary
    Enables beta-galactoside (CMP) alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide. Acts upstream of or within protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine gland; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; and liver. Orthologous to human ST3GAL2 (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

    3. t3gal2-null mice display a reduced respiratory exchange ratio compared to WT mice, indicating a preference for lipid oxidation as an energy source. Despite their altered metabolism, St3gal2-null mice were hyperactive. We conclude that altered ganglioside expression in adipose tissue results in diminished IR sensitivity and late-onset obesity.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
