| Function | Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D- galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Has a much stronger activity than GALNT1 to transfer GalNAc to mucin peptides, such as Muc5Ac and Muc7. Able to glycosylate SDC3. May be responsible for the synthesis of Tn antigen in neuronal cells. |
| Subcellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Specifically expressed in neuronal cells. Expressed in fetal brain, whole adult brain, cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Not expressed in other tissues tested. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12407114}. |
