Gene name

B3GALT6 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

beta3GalT6

Description

UDP-Gal:betaGal beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase polypeptide 6 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
