General description
Biochem/physiol Actions
Terminal sialylation has been shown to decrease Fcγ receptor binding and increase anti-inflammatory activity,3 as well as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in different studies by reduced binding of sialylated antibody towards FcγRIIIa.4-5
This recombinant ST6Gal I product can be used to study the mode of action of the enzyme, as well as its potential inhibitors. It can also be used as a glycoengineering tool to modify glycoproteins in vitro.
CMP-N-acetylneuraminate (CMP-sialic acid, CMP-NANA) to the β-D-galactosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl termini on glycoproteins.
Sialic acids are distributed in a variety of glycolipids and glycoproteins. The sialic acid that is added to a galactose (Gal) can be bound either to the hydroxyl attached to carbon-3 of Gal to form an α-2,3 glycosidic linkage, or to the hydroxyl group attached to carbon-6 to form an α-2,6 glycosidic linkage. ST6Gal I generates a α-2,6 linkage of sialic acid on the non-reducing, terminal Galβ1 4GlcNAc residues of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
Terminal sialylation has been shown to decrease Fcγ receptor binding and increase anti-inflammatory activity, as well as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in different studies by reduced binding of sialylated antibody towards FcγRIIIa.
