| Function |
Has both beta-1,3-glucuronic acid and beta-1,4-N- acetylgalactosamine transferase activity. Transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer. Isoform 2 may facilitate PARK2 transport into the mitochondria. In collaboration with PARK2, isoform 2 may enhance cell viability and protect cells from oxidative stress. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12761225}.

| Subcellular Location |
Isoform 2: Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in pancreas, ovary, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, colon, kidney, liver, stomach, spleen and placenta. Isoform 3 is also ubiquitous. Isoform 2 is expressed in brain, spleen, ovary, testis, lung and peripheral mononuclear cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12716890, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12761225, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22082830}.
