Gene: GALNT13

Alternate names for this Gene: GalNAc-T13

Gene Summary: The GALNT13 protein is a member of the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAcT; EC 2.4.1.41) family, which initiate O-linked glycosylation of mucins (see MUC3A, MIM 158371) by the initial transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) with an alpha-linkage to a serine or threonine residue.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q23.3-q24.1

Description of this Gene: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13
