Abstract excerpt
The human blood group i and I antigens are characterized as linear and branched repeats of N-acetyllactosamine, respectively. Conversion of the i to the I structure requires the activity of I-branching beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (IGnT). Thus the blood group I gene is assigned to encode a beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; however, its identity has not been confirmed. The null phenotype of I,...
