{"symbol":"GALNT10","synonyms":["PPGANTASE10","GALNACT10","PPGALNACT10"],"name":"polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 10","description":"This gene encodes a member of the GalNAc polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases. These enzymes catalyze the first step in the synthesis of mucin-type oligosaccharides. These proteins transfer GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to either serine or threonine residues of polypeptide acceptors. The protein encoded by this locus may have increased catalytic activity toward glycosylated peptides compared to activity toward non-glycosylated peptides.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":55568,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/55568","proteins":[{"symbol":"GLT10_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/GLT10_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Glycosyltransferases","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Glycosyltransferases"}]}
