Entrez gene ID | | 56913 |
Official gene symbol | | C1GALT1 |
Full name | | core 1 synthase, glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-beta-galactosyltransferase, 1 |
Aliases | | ,C1GALT,T-synthase, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene generates the common core 1 O-glycan structure, Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc-R, by the transfer of Gal from UDP-Gal to GalNAc-alpha-1-R. Core 1 is a precursor for many extended mucin-type O-glycans on cell surface and secreted glycoproteins. Studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a key role in thrombopoiesis and kidney homeostasis. |
