nomenclature changes

01/12/2016

Human name has changed for human B3GALT2 [Entrez Gene: 8707] From UDP-Gal:betaGlcNAc beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase, polypeptide 2 to Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 2.

Xenopus names changed following this change for the b3galt2 and b3galt2-like genes.

12/30/19

Based on a report by David Webb at RefSeq Team/NCBI, this gene has been renamed b3galt2-like, as it is not the true orthologue of human B3GALT2.

Xenopus trop b3galt2-like is 1 of 6 b3galt2llike genes just downstream of the ilf3 gene on chromosome 3.

Xtr: ilf3> LOC100489278: b3galt1-like 1< LOC101733959:b3galt2-like (b3galt2l.1)< LOC101732799|b3galt2-like (b3galt2l.2)< LOC108646249|b3galt2-like (b3galt2l.3)< LOC116409818| b3galt2-like (b3galt2l.4)< LOC100380178|b3galt2l (b3galt2l.5)< LOC100485652|b3galt2-like (b3galt2l..6)<

XB will create new gene pages for each of these genes.

Most reptiles and amphibians and basal mammals also have b3galt2-like genes, (e.g., Entrez gene ID:115080934] but the genes seem to be frequently lost or unannotated.
