2.4.1.226
N-acetylgalactosaminyl-proteoglycan 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8L0V4
(1) UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + [protein]-3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D- GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine = UDP + [protein]-3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA- (1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine. (2) UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + [protein]-3-O-((beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta- D-GlcA-(1->3))(n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal- (1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine = UDP + [protein]-3- O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3))(n)-beta- D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)- beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine.
-!- Involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin and dermatan sulfate. -!- The human chondroitin synthetase is a bifunctional glycosyltransferase, which also has the EC 2.4.1.175 activity required for the synthesis of the chondroitin sulfate disaccharide repeats. -!- Similar chondroitin synthase 'copolymerases' can be found in Pasteurella multocida and Escherichia coli. -!- There is also another human protein with apparently only the 3-beta- glucuronosyltransferase activity.
2.4.1.175
Glucuronosyl-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-N- acetylgalactosaminyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8L0V4
(1) UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine + [protein]-3-O-(beta-D-GlcA- (1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D- Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine = UDP + [protein]-3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc- (1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D- Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-serine.

-!- Involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate. -!- The human form of this enzyme is a bifunctional glycosyltransferase, which also has the EC 2.4.1.226 activity required for the synthesis of the chondroitin sulfate disaccharide repeats. -!- Similar chondroitin synthase 'copolymerases' can be found in Pasteurella multocida and Escherichia coli.
