Official gene symbol | | B3GAT1 |
Full name | | beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 1 (glucuronosyltransferase P) |
Aliases | | ,CD57,GLCATP,GLCUATP,HNK1,LEU7,NK-1,NK1, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the glucuronyltransferase gene family. These enzymes exhibit strict acceptor specificity, recognizing nonreducing terminal sugars and their anomeric linkages. This gene product functions as the key enzyme in a glucuronyl transfer reaction during the biosynthesis of the carbohydrate epitope HNK-1 (human natural killer-1, also known as CD57 and LEU7). Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq] |
