- Abstract
This article studies the assignment of a putative acetyl-CoA transporter gene (Acatn) to mouse chromosome band 3E1-E3 by in situ hybridization. Acatn encodes a novel protein that is involved in the process of O-acetylation of gangliosides. The expression of 9-O-acetylated gangliosides is associated with neural cell differentiation and migration and it also effects virus binding, cell adhesion and the immunogenicity of sialic acid residues of gangliosides. In spite of its importance, the O-acetylation mechanism is poorly understood at the molecular and genetic level.
