Abstract
The glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the synthesis of the carbohydrate portions of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a novel human GTDC1 (glycosyltransferase-like domain containing 1) gene, which locates on human chromosome 2q22. The GTDC1 cDNA is 2954 bp in length, encoding a putative protein of 458 amino acids. At protein level human GTDC1 has 75 and 37% identity with its homologous counterparts in the mouse and fruitfly, respectively. RT-PCR analysis revealed its relatively high expression level in the adult lung, spleen, testis, and peripheral blood leukocyte.Entities:
