Galnt7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human GALNT7 (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Galnt7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
