beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 7; UDP-GlcNAc:betagal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2; beta-1,3-GalTase 7; beta3Gal-T7; b3Gal-T7; GalT7; UDP-galactose:beta-N-acetyl-glucosamine-beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 7; UDP-Gal:beta-GlcNAc beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 7; beta-3-Gx-T7 (B3GNT2, B3GALT7, B3GNT1)

Function

• catalyzes initiation & elongation of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains
• protein modification; protein glycosylation

Cofactor: Mn+2

Structure

belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family

Compartment

Golgi membrane

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2

Notes

• may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

More general terms

• galactosyltransferase
