| Background Descriptions | The UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes are substrate-specific proteins that catalyze the transfer of GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine) to serine and threonine residues onto various proteins, thereby initiating mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus. GalNAc-T13 (Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13), also known as UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13, is a 556 amino acid protein that displays much stronger enzymatic activity than GalNAc-1 towards GalNAc transfer to mucin peptides such as Muc5a and Muc7. The N-terminal domain is involved in substrate binding and manganese coordination, while the C-terminal domain is involved in UDP-Gal binding and catalytic reaction. With specific expression in the central nervous system, GalNAc-T13 may be responsible for the synthesis of Tn antigen in neuronal cells, which is a universal carcinoma marker on malignant cells. |

| Synonyms | KIAA1918 |
| Function | Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) residue from UDP-GalNAc to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor (PubMed:12407114, PubMed:22186971). Generates GalNAc-O-Ser/Thr structure also known as Tn antigen, which itself is immunogenic but also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of different mucin-type O- glycan core structures (PubMed:12407114). Contributes to the synthesis of O-linked glycans on mucins and proteoglycans of the central nervous system. May promote neurogenesis through glycosylation and stabilization of PDPN (By similarity) (PubMed:12407114, PubMed:22186971). |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
