GALNT17 polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 17

Gene ID: 64409, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GALNT16; GALNT20; GALNTL3; WBSCR17; GALNACT17; GalNAc-T17; GalNAc-T19; GalNAc-T5L

Summary

This gene encodes an N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. This gene is located centromeric to the common deleted region in Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. This protein may play a role in membrane trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
