A4GAT Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.

A4GALT A14GALT A4GALT1

Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase (Alpha-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase) (Alpha-1,4-galactosyltransferase) (Alpha4Gal-T1) (CD77 synthase) (Globotriaosylceramide synthase) (Gb3 synthase) (P1/Pk synthase) (UDP-galactose:beta-D-galactosyl-beta1-R 4-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase)

alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase(A4GALT) Homo sapiens 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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015],

Catalytic activity:UDP-galactose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide = UDP + alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide.,Domain:The conserved DXD motif is involved in enzyme activity.,Function:Necessary for the biosynthesis of the Pk antigen of blood histogroup P. Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide and galactosylceramide. Necessary for the synthesis of the receptor for bacterial verotoxins.,online information:GlycoGene database,online information:Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase,pathway:Protein modification; protein glycosylation.,polymorphism:Different combinations or absence of the P blood group system antigens define 5 different phenotypes: P1, P2, P1(k), P2(k), and p. Genetic variation in A4GALT determines the p phenotype, which is rare and does not express any antigens. It is also known as null phenotype; p individuals have antibodies against P, P1 and Pk antigens in their sera. These antibodies are clinically important because they can cause severe transfusion reactions and miscarriage.,similarity:Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 32 family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in kidney, heart, spleen, liver, testis and placenta.,

Golgi apparatus membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein .
