Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12 (581 aa, ~67 kDa) is encoded by the human GALNT12 gene. This protein plays a role in catalyzing the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) residue to a serine or threonine residue on a protein substrate.
