Globoside alpha-13-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GBGT1 gene.This gene encodes a member of the histo-blood group ABO gene family that encodes glycosyltransferases with related but distinct substrate specificity. This protein plays a role in synthesizing Forssman glycolipid (FG) a member of the globoseries glycolipid family. Human cells do not normally produce FG but produce the precursor glycolipids globotriaosylceramide and globoside.
