About Abo

Summary

Enables alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity and glycoprotein-fucosylgalactoside alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular oligosaccharide metabolic process; response to nematode; and response to retinoic acid. Located in Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria; gallbladder carcinoma; leukemia (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and severe acute respiratory syndrome. Orthologous to human ABO (ABO, alpha 1-3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and alpha 1-3-galactosyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
