Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 17

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

**Definition:** Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 17 (598 aa, ~68 kDa) is encoded by the human GALNT17 gene. This protein plays a role in catalyzing the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on a protein substrate.
