C1GALT1C1 C1GALT1 specific chaperone 1

Gene ID: 29071, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TNPS; AHUS8; COSMC; MST143; C1GALT2; HSPC067; C38H2-L1

Summary

This gene encodes a type II transmembrane protein that is similar to the core 1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase 1, which catalyzes the synthesis of the core-1 structure, also known as Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, on O-linked glycans. This gene product lacks the galactosyltransferase activity itself, but instead acts as a molecular chaperone required for the folding, stability and full activity of the core 1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Tn syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
