Gene name

GALNT2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

GalNAc-T2

Description

Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 2 protein family. Members of this family initiate mucin-type O-glycoslation of peptides in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein may be involved in O-linked glycosylation of the immunoglobulin A1 hinge region. This gene may influence triglyceride levels, and may be involved Type 2 diabetes, as well as several types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
