UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 11 pseudogene

This record refers to a pseudogene related to UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 11 (GALNT11), also known as polypeptide GalNAc transferase 11 or GalNAc-T11[5]. GALNT11 is part of a family of enzymes that catalyze the first step of O-linked glycosylation by transferring N-acetylgalactosamine to serine or threonine residues on polypeptides, an activity important for mucin-type glycoprotein biosynthesis[2][3][5][8]. However, as a **pseudogene**, ENSG00000224570 **does not encode a functional protein** and is considered non-functional; it is not a receptor, enzyme, or known therapeutic target[6][8]. Functional gene: **GALNT11** (not the pseudogene), has roles in **protein O-glycosylation** and possibly ciliary function and Notch signaling, but this does not apply to the pseudogene[1][5][6][8]. If your intent is to find information on the active, protein-coding gene and its enzyme product, the correct entry is GALNT11 (for which gene and protein-level data, alternate names, and potential functional and disease information are available)[1][5][6][8]. If you want structured data for the protein-coding version, clarify this in your query.
