Most malignant cells displayed cytoplasmic staining with a Golgi-like stianing pattern. Strongest positivity was found in endometrial, breast and prostate cancers and in tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Malignant lymphomas, gliomas and renal cancers were faintly stained or negative.
This gene encodes UDP-GalNAc transferase 3, a member of the GalNAc-transferases family. This family transfers an N-acetyl galactosamine to the hydroxyl group of a serine or threonine residue in the first step of O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Individual GalNAc-transferases have distinct activities and initiation of O-glycosylation is regulated by a repertoire of GalNAc-transferases. The protein encoded by this gene is highly homologous to other family members, however the enzymes have different substrate specificities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
