Gene information for GAL3ST4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79690
Official gene symbolGAL3ST4
Full namegalactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 4
Aliases,FLJ12116,GAL3ST-4,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase protein family. The product of this gene catalyzes sulfonation by transferring a sulfate to the C-3' position of galactose residues in O-linked glycoproteins. This enzyme is highly specific for core 1 structures, with asialofetuin, Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc and Gal-beta-1,3 (GlcNAc-beta-1,6)GalNAc being good substrates. [provided by RefSeq]
