About GCNT1

Cytogenetic location: 9q21.13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:76,441,666-76,507,416 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 150 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Biased expression in duodenum (RPKM 20.0), stomach (RPKM 13.9) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene family. It is essential to the formation of Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc structures and the core 2 O-glycan branch. The gene coding this Enzyme was originally mapped to 9q21, but was later localized to 9q13. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
