Description: The GlycoEnzDB is a manually curated glycoEnzyme database, primarily focused on humans. It covers 390 enzymes across 28 pathway maps. Facilities are also available to create custom glycosylation reaction pathways using experimental data in SBML format and for pathway simulation

• GTA provides α(1,3)GalNAc-transferase activity in blood gp. A individuals.
• GTB provides α(1,3)Gal-transferase activity in blood gp. B individuals.
• Enzyme activity is truncated in O-blood group individuals.
• Four critical differences in amino acid substitution in GTA and GTBenzymes are 176 Arg for A vs. 176 Gly for B, 235 Gly (A) vs. Ser (B), 266 Leu (A) vs. Met (B), and 268 Gly (A) vs. Ala (B). The most common O allele, O1, is characterized by the deletion of nucleotide 261 G, causing a frame shift resulting in a termination codon at 352-4. The transcribed protein is shorter and dysfunctional.
