B3T5; GLCT5; B3GalTx; B3GalT-V; beta3Gal-T5; beta-3-Gx-T5; beta-1,3-GalTase 5; Beta-1,3-Galactosyltransferase 5

This gene encodes a member of a family of membrane-bound glycoproteins. The encoded protein may synthesize type 1 Lewis antigens, which are elevated in gastrointestinal and pancreatic cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants using multiple alternate promoters have been observed for this gene.
