Summary
GCNT1 (glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 1, HGNC:4203) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q21.13, encoding Beta-1,3-galactosyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (Q02742). Glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of an N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety in beta1-6 linkage from UDP-GlcNAc onto mucin-type core 1 O-glycan to form the branched mucin-type core 2 O-glycan.
This gene is a member of the beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene family. It is essential to the formation of Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc structures and the core 2 O-glycan branch. The gene coding this enzyme was originally mapped to 9q21, but was later localized to 9q13. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

All UniProt accessions (1): Q02742
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of an N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety in beta1-6 linkage from UDP-GlcNAc onto mucin-type core 1 O-glycan to form the branched mucin-type core 2 O-glycan. The catalysis is metal ion-independent and occurs with inversion of the anomeric configuration of sugar donor. Selectively involved in synthesis of mucin-type core 2 O-glycans that serve as scaffolds for the display of selectin ligand sialyl Lewis X epitope by myeloid cells, with an impact on homeostasis and recruitment to inflammatory sites. Can also act on glycolipid substrates. Transfers GlcNAc moiety to GalGb4Cer globosides in a reaction step to the synthesis of stage-specific embryonic antigen 1 (SSEA-1) determinant. Can use Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1- and Galbeta1-3GalNAcbeta1- oligosaccharide derivatives as acceptor substrates.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with GOLPH3; may control GCNT1 retention in the Golgi.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in activated T-lymphocytes and myeloid cells.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein glycosylation. Glycolipid biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 14 family.
