polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 17
Alias
GALNACT17 | GALNT16 | GALNT20 | GALNTL3 | GalNAc-T17 | GalNAc-T19 | GalNAc-T5L | WBSCR17
This gene encodes an N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. This gene is located centromeric to the common deleted region in Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. This protein may play a role in membrane trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013].
