Gene information for B3GNT5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84002
Official gene symbolB3GNT5
Full nameUDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5
Aliases,B3GN-T5,beta3Gn-T5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. This enzyme is a type II membrane protein. It exhibits strong activity to transfer GlcNAc to glycolipid substrates and is identified as the most likely candidate for lactotriaosylceramide synthase. This enzyme is essential for the expression of Lewis X epitopes on glycolipids. [provided by RefSeq]
