Description
This gene encodes a member of the
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide
N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes.
GalNAc-Ts initiate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi
apparatus by catalyzing the transfer of GalNAc to serine and
threonine residues on target proteins. They are characterized by an
N-terminal transmembrane domain, a stem region, a lumenal catalytic
domain containing a GT1 motif and Gal/GalNAc transferase motif, and
a C-terminal ricin/lectin-like domain. GalNAc-Ts have different,
but overlapping, substrate specificities and patterns of
expression. This gene is expressed specifically in the brain, with
highest expression in the cerebellum. Multiple transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
