UniProt functional annotation for Q9P2W7

UniProt code: Q9P2W7.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on glycoproteins. Can also play a role in glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. Substrates include asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR), asialo- fetuin, and asialo-neural cell adhesion molecule. Requires sphingomyelin for activity: stearoyl-sphingomyelin was the most effective, followed by palmitoyl-sphingomyelin and lignoceroyl- sphingomyelin. Activity was demonstrated only for sphingomyelin with a saturated fatty acid and not for that with an unsaturated fatty acid, regardless of the length of the acyl group. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=3-O-(beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D- xylosyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate = 3-O-(beta-D- GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl- [protein] + H(+) + UDP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24168, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12571, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12573, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:58052, ChEBI:CHEBI:58223, ChEBI:CHEBI:132090, ChEBI:CHEBI:132093; EC=2.4.1.135; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789};
Cofactor: Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035;
Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subunit: Homodimer. Interacts with SAR1A. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 1]: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}.
Tissue specificity: Mainly expressed in the brain.
Ptm: The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35789}.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 43 family. {ECO:0000305}.
