Gene information for A4gnt (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID333424
Official gene symbolA4gnt
Full namealpha-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
AliasesAV080780,Alpha4gnt,Gm798
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein from the glycosyltransferase 32 family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine to alpha-1,4-linked beta-galactose residues. This enzyme is required for type III mucin synthesis and it is largely associated with the Golgi apparatus membrane. The encoded protein appears to be expressed in adenocarcinoma cells of pancreatic, biliary tract and gastric cancers.
