Full name | | alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase |
Aliases | | ,A14GALT,A4GALT1,Gb3S,P(k),P1,PK, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide, which has been identified as the P(k) antigen of the P blood group system. The encoded protein, which is a type II membrane protein found in the Golgi, is also required for the synthesis of the bacterial verotoxins receptor. [provided by RefSeq] |
