SLC35A1, Official Symbol SLC35A1provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 35 member A1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:11021 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000164414 MIM:605634; AllianceGenome:HGNC:11021 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo 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] Expression Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 23.8), lung (RPKM 21.7) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
