Gene information for GBGT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26301
Official gene symbolGBGT1
Full namegloboside alpha-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1
Aliases,A3GALNT,FS,MGC44848,UNQ2513,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the histo-blood group ABO gene family that encodes glycosyltransferases with related but distinct substrate specificity. This protein plays a role in synthesizing Forssman glycolipid (FG), a member of the globoseries glycolipid family. Human cells do not normally produce FG but produce the precursor glycolipids globotriaosylceramide and globoside. This protein may be involved in the tropism and binding of pathogenic organisms.
