MFNG - MFNG O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About MFNG
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in lymph node (RPKM 25.3), spleen (RPKM 22.3) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
This gene is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 31 gene family. Members of this gene family, which also includes the LFNG (GeneID: 3955) and RFNG (GeneID: 5986) genes, encode evolutionarily conserved glycosyltransferases that act in the Notch signaling pathway to define boundaries during embryonic development. While their genomic structure is distinct from Other glycosyltransferases, these proteins have a fucose-specific beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity that leads to elongation of O-linked fucose residues on Notch, which alters Notch signaling. The protein encoded by this gene may control Notch signaling in claudin-low breast Cancer. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]
