Glucosaminyl (N-Acetyl) Transferase 1, Core 2; Glucosaminyl (N-Acetyl) Transferase 1, Core 2 (Beta-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase); Core 2 Beta1,6 N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I; Core2-GlcNAc-Transferase; NACGT2; C2GNT; Beta-1,3-Galactosyl-O-Glycosyl-Glycoprotein Beta-1,6-N--Acetylglucosaminyltransferase; Beta-1,3-Galactosyl-O-Glycosyl-Glycoprotein Beta-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase; Core 2 Beta-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase I; Beta-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase

This gene is a member of the beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene family. It is essential to the formation of Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc structures and the core 2 O-glycan branch. The gene coding this enzyme was originally mapped to 9q21, but was later localized to 9q13. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
