Gene: UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5
Gene ID: 200994
Symbol: B3GNT5
Species: 1000
Description: This gene encodes an enzyme that is a member of the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. This enzyme is a type II membrane protein. It exhibits strong activity to transfer GlcNAc to glycolipid substrates and is identified as the most likely candidate for lactotriaosylceramide synthase. This enzyme is essential for the expression of Lewis X epitopes on glycolipids.
