Enzymes

General function:
Involved in galactosyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine onto globotriaosylceramide.
Gene Name:
B3GALNT1
Uniprot ID:
O75752
Molecular weight:
39511.55
General function:
Involved in galactokinase activity
Specific function:
Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates.
Gene Name:
GALK2
Uniprot ID:
Q01415
Molecular weight:
49234.57
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Not Available
Gene Name:
GALNS
Uniprot ID:
P34059
Molecular weight:
Not Available
General function:
Involved in UDP-glucuronic acid transmembrane transport
Specific function:
Transports both UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) from the cytoplasm to into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. May participate in glucuronidation and/or chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis.
Gene Name:
SLC35D1
Uniprot ID:
Q9NTN3
Molecular weight:
39239.8
General function:
Involved in galactosyltransferase activity
Specific function:
May be involved in keratane sulfate biosynthesis. Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine on to keratan sulfate-related glycans. May play a role in preventing cells from migrating out of the original tissues and invading surrounding tissues
Gene Name:
B3GNT7
Uniprot ID:
Q8NFL0
Molecular weight:
45986.9
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups
Specific function:
Glycosyltransferase that generates the core 1 O-glycan Gal-beta1-3GalNAc-alpha1-Ser/Thr (T antigen), which is a precursor for many extended O-glycans in glycoproteins. Plays a central role in many processes, such as angiogenesis, thrombopoiesis and kidney homeostasis development.
Gene Name:
C1GALT1
Uniprot ID:
Q9NS00
Molecular weight:
42202.5
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to N-acetylglucosamine-beta-benzyl with a beta-1,4-linkage to form N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine, GalNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNAc structures in N-linked glycans and probably O-linked glycans. Mediates the N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine formation on gastric mucosa.
Gene Name:
B4GALNT3
Uniprot ID:
Q6L9W6
Molecular weight:
114974.105
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups

Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to N-acetylglucosamine-beta-benzyl with a beta-1,4-linkage to form N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine, GalNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNAc structures in N-linked glycans and probably O-linked glycans.
Gene Name:
B4GALNT4
Uniprot ID:
Q76KP1
Molecular weight:
116512.09
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
Involved in the synthesis of the Sd(a) antigen (Sia- alpha2,3-[GalNAc-beta1,4]Gal-beta1,4-GlcNAc), a carbohydrate determinant expressed on erythrocytes, the colonic mucosa and other tissues. Transfers a beta-1,4-linked GalNAc to the galactose residue of an alpha-2,3-sialylated chain
Gene Name:
B4GALNT2
Uniprot ID:
Q8NHY0
Molecular weight:
63257.6
