Chromosomal localization of human β6GlcNAc transferase genes and tissue distribution

Enzyme Chromosomal location Tissue specificity
C2GnT-L 9q13 Ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and highly expressed in activated T lymphocytes and myeloid cells
C2GnT-M 15q21.3 Primarily expressed in mucus-secreting tissues, including . colon, testis, stomach, small intestine, kidney, trachea, adrenal gland, thyroid gland, uterus, ovary, and pancreas
C2GnT-T 5q12 Predominantly expressed in the thymus. Weakly expressed in pancreas, peripheral blood leukocytes, placenta, small intestine, and stomach. Barely detectable in liver, spleen, lung, and lymph node
IGnT 9q21 Erythroid cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, lens epithelium, and other tissues. Differential expression of specific transcripts in different tissues
