Gene information for B4GALNT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2583
Official gene symbolB4GALNT1
Full namebeta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl transferase 1
Aliases,GALGT,GALNACT,
Gene summaryGM2 and GD2 gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T is the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of G(M2) and G(D2) glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T catalyzes the transfer of GalNAc into G(M3) and G(D3) by a beta-1,4 linkage, resulting in the synthesis of G(M2) and G(D2), respectively. [provided by RefSeq]
