Preferred Label : Abo glycosyltransferase;

Symbol : ABO;

CISMeF acronym : ABO;

Type : Gene;

Description : The ABO gene encodes a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of carbohydrates to the H antigen (211100), forming the antigenic structure of the ABO blood groups (summary by Amundadottir et al., 2009). The proteins encoded by the A and B alleles of ABO differ minimally in amino acid sequence but catalyze the transfer of different carbohydrates (N-acetylgalactosamine or galactose) into the H antigen to form the A or B antigens. Individuals with the O blood group do not produce either the A or B antigens because of a single-base deletion.;
