Function |
Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to N-acetylglucosamine-beta-benzyl with a beta-1,4-linkage to form N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine, GalNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNAc structures in N-linked glycans and probably O-linked glycans. Mediates the N,N'- diacetyllactosediamine formation on gastric mucosa. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16728562}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16728562}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16728562}. Note=Localizes to apical Golgi.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in testis, colon and stomach. Weakly expressed in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12966086}.
