Function |
Transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA to N- acetylgalactosamine residues on the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer. Has no N- acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12145278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18316376}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in placenta, small intestine and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12145278}.
