B3GALNT2
Beta-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the B3GALNT2 gene. [1]
Function
This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 31 family. The encoded protein synthesizes GalNAc:beta-1,3GlcNAc, a novel carbohydrate structure, on N- and O-glycans. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013].
gollark: FUSION POWER¡!!!!!
gollark: <@404656680496791554> THAT IS WHAT BATTERIES OR REACTORS ARE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!
gollark: MONSTER.
gollark: SOLAR PANELS? YOU MONSTER.
gollark: So you can stick some control room INSIDE the reactor with no negative impact.
