|
| Function |
Glycosyltransferase that can synthesize all known mucin beta 6 N-acetylglucosaminides. Mediates core 2 and core 4 O-glycan branching, 2 important steps in mucin-type biosynthesis. Has also I-branching enzyme activity by converting linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, leading to introduce the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9915862}.

| Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Primarily expressed in mucus-secreting tissues. Expressed in colon, kidney, small intestine, trachea, and stomach, where mucin is produced. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17303715, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9915862}.
