Gene information for B3GAT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27087
Official gene symbolB3GAT1
Full namebeta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 1 (glucuronosyltransferase P)
Aliases,CD57,GLCATP,GLCUATP,HNK1,LEU7,NK-1,NK1,
Gene summaryThe 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]
