GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

A4GALT

Description

alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

Low

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide, which has been identified as the P(k) antigen of the P blood group system. The encoded protein, which is a type II membrane protein found in the Golgi, is also required for the synthesis of the bacterial verotoxins receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
