FunFam 60: Hexosyltransferase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
N-acetylgalactosaminyl-proteoglycan 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.226]
(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.
