The human genes ST6GALNAC3 and 4 encode GalNAc alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase III and IV respectively which can add sialic acid (Neu5Ac) to sialyl T antigen to produce a disialyl T antigen. ST6GALNAC4 is characterised (Harduin-Lepers et al. 2000) while ST6GALNAC3 is thought to perform a similar function based on sequence similarity.
