Also Known as GGTA; GLYT2; GGTA1P; a1/3GTP
Species: Homo sapiens
About GGTA1
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 7 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in salivary gland (RPKM 23.8), bone marrow (RPKM 17.7) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
Alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) is an enzyme present in most mammals except man, apes, and Old World monkeys. This gene is thought to encode a truncated, non-enzymatic form of the GGTA1 protein that lacks the C-terminal catalytic domain. Aberrant expression of the GGTA1 protein in man can lead to autoimmune diseases and sometimes germ cell tumors. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
