GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
B3GAT3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GlcAT-I
Description
Beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the glucuronyltransferase gene family, enzymes that exhibit strict acceptor specificity, recognizing nonreducing terminal sugars and their anomeric linkages. This gene product catalyzes the formation of the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage by way of a glucuronyl transfer reaction in the final step of the biosynthesis of the linkage region of proteoglycans. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
