GALNT4 Antibody (N-term)

O08832; NP_003765.2

This gene encodes a member of the
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide
N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes.
GalNAc-Ts initiate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi
apparatus by catalyzing the transfer of GalNAc to serine and
threonine residues on target proteins. They are characterized by an
N-terminal transmembrane domain, a stem region, a lumenal catalytic
domain containing a GT1 motif and Gal/GalNAc transferase motif, and
a C-terminal ricin/lectin-like domain. GalNAc-Ts have different,
but overlapping, substrate specificities and patterns of
expression. In vitro, the encoded protein can complement other
GalNAc-Ts in the complete O-glycosylation of the mucin-1 tandem
repeat and can O-glycosylate the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1
molecule. The coding region of this gene is contained within a
single exon.
