CMAS (NP_061156, 164aa-263aa) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26kD.
The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the activation of Neu5Ac to Cytidine 5-prime-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), which provides the substrate required for the addition of sialic acid. Sialic acids of cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids play a pivotal role in the structure and function of animal tissues. The pattern of cell surface sialylation is highly regulated during embryonic development, and changes with stages of differentiation. Studies of a similar murine protein suggest that this protein localizes to the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA, Western Blot.
