Description
Product Characteristics: A4GALT, P1, A14GALT, A4GALT1, PK, Lactosylceramide 4-Alpha-Galactosyltransferase, Globotriaosylceramide Synthase, Gb3 synthase, P1/Pk synthase, CD77 Synthase
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide, which has been identified as the P(k) antigen of the P blood group system. The encoded protein, which is a type II membrane protein found in the Golgi, is also required for the synthesis of the bacterial verotoxins receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
