Gene Symbol:

A4galt Mus musculus

Full name:

alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase

Synonyms:

lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase, Gb3 synthase, Gb3/CD77 synthase, UDP-galactose:beta-D-galactosyl-beta1-R 4-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase, alpha-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, alpha4Gal-T1, globotriaosylceramide synthase

Genomic Location:

Chr 15: 83057152-83082157

Description:

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. Alter...

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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
