About B3GNT5

Cytogenetic location: 3q27.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:183,253,253-183,273,385 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 250 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 17.8), small intestine (RPKM 13.8) and 20 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. This Enzyme is a type II membrane protein. It exhibits strong activity to transfer GlcNAc to glycolipid substrates and is identified as the most likely candidate for lactotriaosylceramide synthase. This Enzyme is essential for the expression of Lewis X epitopes on glycolipids. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
