Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9331
Gene name Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6
Gene symbol B4GALT6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
B4Gal-T6beta4Gal-T6
Chromosome 18
Chromosome location 18q12.1
Summary This gene is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4GalT) genes in human. They encode type II membrane-bound glycoproteins that appear to have exclusive specificity for the donor substrate UDP-galactose; all transfer galactose in a beta1,4 link

Protein name Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6 (Beta-1,4-GalTase 6) (Beta4Gal-T6) (b4Gal-T6) (EC 2.4.1.-) (Glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase) (EC 2.4.1.274) (Lactosylceramide synthase) (LacCer synthase) (UDP-Gal:beta-GlcNAc beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase
Protein function Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) (PubMed:1551920, PubMed:24498430, PubMed:3099851). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all ganglio
