Function
caution:In contrast to other members of the family, it lacks the C-terminal ricin B-type lectin domain, which contributes to the glycopeptide specificity. Its precise function is therefore unsure.,cofactor:Calcium.,cofactor:Manganese.,domain:There are two conserved domains in the glycosyltransferase region: the N-terminal domain (domain A, also called GT1 motif), which is probably involved in manganese coordination and substrate binding and the C-terminal domain (domain B, also called Gal/GalNAc-T motif), which is probably involved in catalytic reaction and UDP-Gal binding.,function:May catalyze the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor.,online information:GlycoGene database,online information:Putative polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-like protein
