CSGALNACT2 chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2

Gene ID: 55454, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CHGN2; ChGn-2; PRO0082; GALNACT2; GALNACT-2; beta4GalNAcT

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family. The encoded protein is involved in elongation during chondroitin sulfate synthesis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Two related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
