A4GNT, Official Symbol A4GNTprovided by HGNC Official Full Name alpha-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17968 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000118017 MIM:616709; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17968 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as alpha4GnT Summary This gene encodes a protein from the glycosyltransferase 32 family. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to core 2 branched O-glycans. It forms a unique glycan, GlcNAcalpha1-->4Galbeta-->R and is largely associated with the Golgi apparatus membrane.
