Description:
GALNT13 [UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13 (GalNAc-T13)] is a member of a large family of enzymes (GalNAc-T) that catalyze the O-linked glycosylation of peptides in the Golgi apparatus. Each member has distinct substrate specificity, expression pattern and glycosylation function, indicating that different members regulate distinct cellular processes. These enzymes transfer a single N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue to a serine or threonine residue in peptides. Aberrant glycosylation is associated with tumourigenesis and shown to influence different steps in tumor progression, such as proliferation, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis, which are known to be involved in pulmonary vascular remodelling. Multiple SNPs in this gene were linked to an elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) and pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell disease.
