Gene Name ABO
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific Function This protein is the basis of the ABO blood group system. The histo-blood group ABO involves three carbohydrate antigens: A, B, and H. A, B, and AB individuals express a glycosyltransferase activity that converts the H antigen to the A antigen (by addition of UDP-GalNAc) or to the B antigen (by addition of UDP-Gal), whereas O individuals lack such activity.
Pathways
  • Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lacto and neolacto series
  • protein glycosylation
