Full name: xylosylprotein beta1,4-galactosyltransferase, polypeptide 7 (galactosyltransferase I)

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: XGPT; XGalT-1

Summary: Predicted to enable beta-N-acetylglucosaminylglycopeptide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity; manganese ion binding activity; and xylosylprotein 4-beta-galactosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including glycoprotein biosynthetic process; glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of fibroblast proliferation. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome spondylodysplastic type 1. Orthologous to human B4GALT7 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 7).
