In enzymology a lactosylceramide alpha-23-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionCMP-N-acetylneuraminate + beta-D-galactosyl-14-beta-D-glucosylceramide CMP + alpha-N-acetylneuraminyl-23-beta-D-galactosyl-14-beta-D- glucosylceramideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are CMP-N-acetylneuraminate and beta-D-galactosyl-14-beta-D-glucosylceramide whereas its 3 products are CMP alpha-N-acetylneuraminyl-23-beta-D-galactosyl-14-beta-D- and glucosylceramide.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those glycosyltransferases that do not transfer hexosyl or pentosyl groups.
