B3GALT6 - beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6 Gene
Also Known as ALGAZ; EDSP2; EDSSPD2; SEMDJL1; beta3GalT6
Species: Homo sapiens
About B3GALT6
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 168 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes.
Summary
The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
