GALNT3 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human GALNT3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q24.3 and is approximately 99 kb in length. This allele, which encodes polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 protein, plays a role in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Mutations in the gene are associated with autosomal recessive hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis 1.
