Gene:
beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 3 (glucuronosyltransferase I)
Gene ID:
206107
Symbol:
B3GAT3
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the glucuronyltransferase gene family, enzymes that exhibit strict acceptor specificity, recognizing nonreducing terminal sugars and their anomeric linkages. This gene product catalyzes the formation of the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage by way of a glucuronyl transfer reaction in the final step of the biosynthesis of the linkage region of proteoglycans.
