GBGT1 Gene family

GBGT1 Protein

GBGT1 protein function

Catalyzes the formation of some glycolipid via the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in alpha-1,3-linkage to some substrate. Glycolipids probably serve for adherence of some pathogens.

GBGT1 protein expression

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in placenta, ovary and peripheral blood leukocyte, whereas it is weakly expressed in liver, thymus, and testis.
