Sialyltransferase activity in erythrocyte membranes and serum in patients with myotonic dystrophy

ABSTRACT‐ Sialyltransferase activity was measured in erythrocyte membranes and in serum in patients with myotonic dystrophy and in matched healthy controls. The reason for assaying this enzyme was to study a possible mechanism behind a previously reported deficiency of glycoprotein‐bound sialic acid in the erythrocyte membrane in patients with this disease. No significant differences in sialyltransferase activity with endogenous or different exogenous glycoprotein acceptors were found.
