| ncRNA Symbol: | B3GALT6 | | Full Name: | beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | EDSP2|EDSSPD2|SEMDJL1|beta3GalT6 | | Chromosome: | chr1 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 1232265 | End Site(bp): | 1235041 | | | Gene Summary: | The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
