B3GLCT beta 3-glucosyltransferase

Gene ID: 145173, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: B3GTL; Gal-T; B3GALTL; B3Glc-T; beta3Glc-T

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a beta-1,3-glucosyltransferase that transfers glucose to O-linked fucosylglycans on thrombospondin type-1 repeats (TSRs) of several proteins. The encoded protein is a type II membrane protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of Peters-plus syndrome (PPS).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
