FunFam 63: Beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase

There are 1 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-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N- acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.244]
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group = UDP + N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group.
  • The enzyme from human can transfer N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) to N-glycan and O-glycan substrates that have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) but not D-glucuronic acid (GlcUA) at their non-reducing end.
  • The N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group is normally on a core oligosaccharide although benzyl glycosides have been used in enzyme- characterization experiments.
  • Some glycohormones, e.g. lutropin and thyrotropin contain the N-glycan structure containing the N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl- (1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group.
