| Function | Involved in the biosynthesis of ganglioside GD1A from GM1B. Transfers CMP-NeuAc with an alpha-2,6-linkage to GalNAc residue on NeuAc-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Prefers glycoproteins to glycolipids (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. |
| Top Pathways | Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - ganglio series |
