title: Purification of alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase from rat liver by dye chromatography.
abstract: We describe a simple three-step purification for Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc-alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1) from rat liver which uses chromatography on Cibacron Blue F3GA and f.p.l.c. It gives a highly purified (11,000-fold) enzyme in 19% yield, which is free of other sialyltransferases, CMP-NeuAc hydrolase, sialidases and proteinases.
