Gene information for A4GALT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID53947
Official gene symbolA4GALT
Full namealpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase
Aliases,A14GALT,A4GALT1,Gb3S,P(k),P1,PK,
Gene summaryThe 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]
