Gene information for A4galt (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID239559
Official gene symbolA4galt
Full namealpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase
Aliases-
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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
