Alpha-28-sialyltransferase 8B is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ST8SIA2 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that is thought to catalyze the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to N-linked oligosaccharides and glycoproteins. The encoded protein may be found in the Golgi apparatus and may be involved in the production of polysialic acid a modulator of the adhesive properties of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM1).
