Gene information for GALNT3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2591
Official gene symbolGALNT3
Full nameUDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GalNAc-T3)
Aliases,DKFZp686C10199,GalNAc-T3,HFTC,HHS,MGC61909,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes UDP-GalNAc transferase 3, a member of the GalNAc-transferases family. This family transfers an N-acetyl galactosamine to the hydroxyl group of a serine or threonine residue in the first step of O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Individual GalNAc-transferases have distinct activities and initiation of O-glycosylation is regulated by a repertoire of GalNAc-transferases. The protein encoded by this gene is highly homologous to other family members, however the enzymes have different substrate specificities. [provided by RefSeq]
