| 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 broad spectrum of substrates for peptides such as EA2, Muc5AC, Muc1a, Muc1b. Probably involved in O-linked glycosylation of the immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) hinge region. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12438318, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16434399, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7592619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9295285}.
