Gene:
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 11 (GalNAc-T11)
Gene ID:
209487
Symbol:
GALNT11
Species:
1000
Description:
Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D- galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Displays the same enzyme activity toward Muc1, Muc4.1, and EA2 than GALNT1. Does not appear to be involved in glycosylation of erythropoietin.
