B4GALT1
Description
The B4GALT1 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1. This enzyme is crucial for glycosylation, a process that attaches sugar molecules (glycans) to proteins and lipids. Glycosylation is essential for various biological functions, including cell signaling, immune responses, and protein stability.
