Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3

The gene encodes GALNT3 UDP-GalNAc which is responsible for O-glycosylation of the peptide hormone FGF23. As only O-glycosylated FGF23 can be further processed and activated while non-O-glycosylated FGF23 is degradated, inactivitong mutationd result in reduced secreted FGF23 levels. Such mutations cause autosomal recessive hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis.
