POC1B-GALNT4
Description
The POC1B-GALNT4 (POC1B-GALNT4 readthrough) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
POC1B-GALNT4 is a gene located on chromosome 19 that encodes a protein involved in the biosynthesis of proteoglycans. This protein functions as a polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, catalyzing the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to serine or threonine residues on specific protein acceptors. This enzymatic activity is crucial for the formation of glycosaminoglycan chains, essential components of proteoglycans.

This enzymatic activity is crucial for the formation of glycosaminoglycan chains, which are essential components of proteoglycans. These proteoglycans play critical roles in diverse biological processes such as cell signaling, tissue development, and extracellular matrix formation.
POC1B-GALNT4 is also known as GALNT4, GalNAc-T4.
