nomenclature changes
01/12/2016 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 8707. From UDP-Gal:betaGlcNAc beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase, polypeptide 2 to Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 2
12/30/19 Based on a report by David Webb at NCBI, this gene has been renamed b3galt2-like, as it is not the true orthologue of human B3GALT2.
Xenopus b3galt2-like] is 1 of 9 b3galt2l genes just downstream of the ilf3 gene on chromosome 3.
Most reptiles and amphibians and basal mammals also have b3galt2-like genes, (eg.g, Entrez gene ID:115080934] but the genes seem to be frequently lost. or unannotated.
