{"symbol":"B3GAT1","synonyms":["HNK1","CD57","LEU7","NK-1","GLCATP","GLCUATP"],"name":"beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the glucuronyltransferase gene family. These enzymes exhibit strict acceptor specificity, recognizing nonreducing terminal sugars and their anomeric linkages. This gene product functions as the key enzyme in a glucuronyl transfer reaction during the biosynthesis of the carbohydrate epitope HNK-1 (human natural killer-1, also known as CD57 and LEU7). Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.
