Alternate names for this Gene: GALNACT17|GALNT16|GALNT20|GALNTL3|GalNAc-T17|GalNAc-T19|GalNAc-T5L|WBSCR17

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. This gene is located centromeric to the common deleted region in Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. This protein may play a role in membrane trafficking.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q11.22

Description of this Gene: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 17

Type of Gene: protein-coding
