Target Name
A4GALT
Target Full Name
Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase
Target Function
Catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-alpha-D-galactose to lactosylceramide/beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide(d18:1(4E)) to produce globotriaosylceramide/globoside Gb3Cer (d18:1(4E)). Also able to transfer galactose to galactosylceramide/beta-D-Gal-(1<->1')-Cer. Globoside Gb3Cer is a glycosphingolipid of the globo serie, one of the major types of neutral root structures of glycosphingolipids, that constitute a significant portion of mammalian cell membranes. Globotriaosylceramide/globoside Gb3Cer in blood and tissue cell membranes is the antigen Pk of blood histogroup P.; (Microbial infection) Globotriaosylceramide is one of the cellular ligands for bacterial verotoxins.
Target Subcellular Location
Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.
Target Protein Families
Glycosyltransferase 32 family
Target Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in kidney, heart, spleen, liver, testis and placenta.

Target Background
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide, which has been identified as the P(k) antigen of the P blood group system. This protein, a type II membrane protein found in the Golgi, is also required for the synthesis of the bacterial verotoxins receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
