based on mapping to UniProt O53585
28 UDP-alpha-D-galactofuranose + beta-D-galactofuranosyl-(1->5)-beta-D- galactofuranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-alpha-D- glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans,octacis-decaprenol = 28 UDP + (beta-D- galactofuranosyl-(1->5)-beta-D-galactofuranosyl-(1->6))(14)-beta-D- galactofuranosyl-(1->5)-beta-D-galactofuranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-L- rhamnopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho- trans,octacis-decaprenol.
-!- Isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. -!- The enzyme adds approximately twenty-eight galactofuranosyl residues with alternating 1->5 and 1->6 links forming a galactan domain with approximately thirty galactofuranosyl residues. -!- Involved in the formation of the cell wall in mycobacteria.
