B4GALNT1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human B4GALNT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q13.3 and is approximately 10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes beta-1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 protein, plays a role in the synthesis of glycosphingolipids. Mutation of the gene is associated with autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 26.
