B3GNT6 UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 6

Gene ID: 192134, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BGnT-6; B3Gn-T6; beta3Gn-T6; beta-1,3-Gn-T6

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that adds an N-acetylglucosamine moiety to N-acetylgalactosamine-modified serine or threonine. The encoded enzyme is responsible for creating the core 3 structure of O-glycans, which are important components of mucin-type glycoproteins. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
