|
| 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. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
In the CNS, it is predominantly expressed in several distinct hypothalamic, thalamic and amygdaloid nuclei. The most abundant level of expression is in the paraventricular, ventromedial and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus, the anterodorsal and parafascicular nuclei of the thalamus and the central, basomedial and medial nuclei of the amygdala. Also expressed in cerebral cortex, lateral septum, habenula and hippocampus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15018805}.
