Reaction catalysed |
CMP-N-acetyl-beta-neuraminate + beta-D-galactosyl-R <=> CMP + N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminyl-(2->6)-beta-D-galactosyl-R |
Comment(s) |
- The enzyme acts on the terminal non-reducing beta-D-galactosyl residue of the oligosaccharide moiety of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
- Formerly EC 2.4.99.11.
