Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13, Polypeptide GalNAc transferase 13, GalNAc-T13, pp-GaNTase 13, Protein-UDP acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13, UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13, GALNT13, KIAA1918 |
Bio Background |
The GALNT13 protein is a member of the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAcT; EC 2.4.1.41) family, which initiate O-linked glycosylation of mucins (see MUC3A, MIM 158371) by the initial transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) with an alpha-linkage to a serine or threonine residue.[supplied by OMIM]. |
