The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsymdromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017].
