| Function | The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS), a major carbohydrate active -transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitant with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in N-acetylgalactosamine transport. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=When overexpressed. |
| Top Pathways | Phosphotransferase system (PTS), Galactose metabolism |
