Description
Description
Sialyltransferases catalyze the conjugation of sialic acid moieties to proteins or lipids. Sialylated molecules have diverse functions in eukaryotes in development, immunity, cell-cell interaction, signaling pathways, cell death and differentiation and host cell-virus interactions.
