Description
Product Characteristics: The protein encoded by this gene generates the common core 1 O-glycan structure, Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc-R, by the transfer of Gal from UDP-Gal to GalNAc-alpha-1-R. Core 1 is a precursor for many extended mucin-type O-glycans on cell surface and secreted glycoproteins. Studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a key role in thrombopoiesis and kidney homeostasis.,C1GALT1,C1GALT,T-synthase,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Cardiovascular,Angiogenesis,C1GALT1
