Gene information for B4GALNT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID124872
Official gene symbolB4GALNT2
Full namebeta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl transferase 2
Aliases,B4GALT,GALGT2,MGC142235,MGC142237,
Gene summaryB4GALNT2 catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the human Sd(a) antigen through the addition of an N-acetylgalactosamine residue via a beta-1,4 linkage to a subterminal galactose residue substituted with an alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. B4GALNT2 also catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the Cad antigen (Montiel et al., 2003 [PubMed 12678917]).[supplied by OMIM]
