(Calcinosis...) :
Our findings indicate that Galnt3-deficient mice have a biochemical phenotype of tumoral calcinosis and provide in vivo evidence that Galnt3 plays an essential role in proper secretion of Fgf23 in mice

(Iron Metabolism Disorders...) :
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone derived hormone that regulates and is regulated by blood levels of phosphate and active vitamin D. Post-translational glycosylation by the enzyme GALNT3 and subsequent processing by furin have been demonstrated to be a regulated process that plays a role in regulating FGF23 levels
