Gene: GALNT5

Alternate names for this Gene: GALNAC-T5|GALNACT5

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that is found in the Golgi. The encoded protein catalyzes the first step in the mucin-type O-glycosylation of Golgi proteins, transfering an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q24.1

Description of this Gene: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
