CMP-N-acetylneuraminate-poly-alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8SIA4)

Catalyzes the polycondensation of alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid needed for the synthesis of polysialic acid (PSA), which can be present on the embryonic neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), necessary for plasticity of neural cells. .
