Gene: GNPTG

Alternate names for this Gene: C16orf27|GNPTAG|LP2537|RJD9

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the gamma sunbunit of the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase complex. This hexameric complex, composed of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, catalyzes the first step in synthesis of a mannose 6-phosphate lysosomal recognition marker. This enzyme complex is necessary for targeting of lysosomal hydrolases to the lysosome. Mutations in the gene encoding the gamma subunit have been associated with mucolipidosis IIIC, also known as mucolipidosis III gamma.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16p13.3

Description of this Gene: N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunit gamma
