{"symbol":"SLC35A1","synonyms":["hCST","CDG2F","CMPST"],"name":"solute carrier family 35 (CMP-sialic acid transporter), member A1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is found in the membrane of the Golgi apparatus, where it transports nucleotide sugars into the Golgi. One such nucleotide sugar is CMP-sialic acid, which is imported into the Golgi by the encoded protein and subsequently glycosylated. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2F (CDG2F). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":10559,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/10559","proteins":[{"symbol":"S35A1_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/S35A1_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Solute carriers (SLC)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Solute+carriers+%28SLC%29"}]}
