| 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 and Muc7. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9153242}. |
| Subcellular Location | Polypeptide N- acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed at high level. Higher expression in kidney, heart, small intestine and cervix and to a lesser extent in all the other tissues tested. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12651884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9153242}. |
