Other Information

**Key characteristics**: * GALT2 is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 135 kDa. * It is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). * It is a homohexamer, with each subunit of the protein being approximately 20 kDa. * It is a glycosyltransferase, which means that it adds sugar molecules to other molecules. * It is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell migration, adhesion, and signaling. **Pathways and functions**: * GALT2 is involved in the processing of glycoproteins and lipids in the ER. * It is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of O-linked glycosylation, which is a type of glycosylation that involves the addition of galactose molecules to proteins. * It is also involved in the sorting and trafficking of proteins between the ER and the Golgi apparatus. * It is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. * It is also involved in the maintenance of the plasma membrane. **Clinical significance**: * Mutations in the GALNT2 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including galactosemia and lysozyme deficiency. * GALT2 is a potential therapeutic target for these diseases. * Inhibition of GALT2 has been shown to correct the symptoms of galactosemia and lysozyme deficiency. **Conclusion**: GALT2 is a key enzyme in the processing of glycoproteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells. It is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell migration, adhesion, and signaling. Mutations in the GALNT2 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, highlighting its importance in human health.
