{"symbol":"A4GALT","synonyms":["A14GALT","P1PK","A4GALT1","P(K)","GB3S"],"name":"alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase","description":"The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide, which has been identified as the P(k) antigen of the P blood group system. This protein, a type II membrane protein found in the Golgi, is also required for the synthesis of the bacterial verotoxins receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
