Catalysis of the formation of sialylglycoconjugates via transfer of the sialic acid group from CMP to one of several glycoconjugate acceptors. Catalysis of the transfer of a hexosyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of the specific cleavage of the beta-1,4 glycosidic linkage between N-acetylmuramyl and N-acetylglucosaminyl residues in peptidoglycan, with the concomitant formation of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl residues. null Catalysis of the transfer of a glycosyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). null Catalysis of the transfer of a glycosyl group from a UDP-sugar to a small hydrophobic molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a pentosyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic. Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2.
