SLC35A1 solute carrier family 35 member A1

Gene ID: 10559, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CST; hCST; CDG2F; CMPST

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is found in the membrane of the Golgi apparatus, where it transports nucleotide sugars into the Golgi. One such nucleotide sugar is CMP-sialic acid, which is imported into the Golgi by the encoded protein and subsequently glycosylated. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2F (CDG2F). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
