Analysis of GALNT3 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1485-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3<br />Also known as: HHS; HFTC; HFTC1; GalNAc-T3<br />This gene encodes UDP-GalNAc transferase 3, a member of the galnac transferase family. This family transfers N-acetylgalactosamine to the hydroxyl groups of serine or threonine residues in the first step of O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Individual galnac transferases have different activities, and initiation of O-glycosylation is regulated by a series of galnac transferases. The protein encoded by this gene is highly homologous to other family members, but the enzymes have different substrate specificities.
