GCNT4 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 4, core 2

Predicted to enable acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in O-glycan processing and carbohydrate metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including inter-male aggressive behavior; neutrophil homeostasis; and thyroid hormone metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GCNT7 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase family member 7

Predicted to enable acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GCNT6 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 6

GCNT1 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 1, core 2

This gene is a member of the beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene family. It is essential to the formation of Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc structures and the core 2 O-glycan branch. The gene coding this enzyme was originally mapped to 9q21, but was later localized to 9q13. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

GCNT3 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 3, mucin type

This gene encodes a member of the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. The encoded protein is a beta-6-N-acetylglucosamine-transferase that catalyzes the formation of core 2 and core 4 O-glycans on mucin-type glycoproteins.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

GCNT2 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 2, I-branching enzyme (I blood group)

This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for formation of the blood group I antigen. The i and I antigens are distinguished by linear and branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, respectively. The encoded protein is the I-branching enzyme, a beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase responsible for the conversion of fetal i antigen to adult I antigen in erythrocytes during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with adult i blood group phenotype. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

GCNT1P3 Gene

glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 1, core 2 pseudogene 3

NDST1 Gene

N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (heparan glucosaminyl) 1

This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate/heparin GlcNAc N-deacetylase/ N-sulfotransferase family. The encoded enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to nitrogen of glucosamine in heparan sulfate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

NDST2 Gene

N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (heparan glucosaminyl) 2

This gene encodes a member of the N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase subfamily of the sulfotransferase 1 proteins. The encoded enzyme has dual functions in processing glucosamine and heparin polymers, including N-deacetylation and N-sulfation. The encoded protein may be localized to the Golgi. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

NDST3 Gene

N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (heparan glucosaminyl) 3

This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate/heparin GlcNAc N-deacetylase/ N-sulfotransferase family. The encoded enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. This monomeric bifunctional enzyme catalyzes the N-deacetylation and N-sulfation of N-acetylglucosamine residues in heparan sulfate and heparin, which are the initial chemical modifications required for the biosynthesis of the functional oligosaccharide sequences that define the specific ligand binding activities of heparan sulfate and heparin.

Predicted to be involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process, polysaccharide chain biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
