About A4GNT

Cytogenetic location: 3q22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:138,123,713-138,133,302 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 169 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Biased expression in stomach (RPKM 9.5), duodenum (RPKM 0.9) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein from the glycosyltransferase 32 family. The Enzyme catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to core 2 branched O-glycans. It forms a unique glycan, GlcNAcalpha1-->4Galbeta-->R and is largely associated with the Golgi apparatus membrane. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
