UniProt functional annotation for Q86SR1

UniProt code: Q86SR1.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Catalyzes 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. Has activity toward Muc5Ac and EA2 peptide substrates.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3-O- [N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminyl]-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23956, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9863, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12788, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29999, ChEBI:CHEBI:53604, ChEBI:CHEBI:58223, ChEBI:CHEBI:67138; EC=2.4.1.41; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417297};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-threonyl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3- O-[N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminyl]-L-threonyl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:52424, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11060, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:11689, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30013, ChEBI:CHEBI:58223, ChEBI:CHEBI:67138, ChEBI:CHEBI:87075; EC=2.4.1.41; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417297};
Cofactor: Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subcellular location: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single- pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Expressed at high level in small intestine, and at intermediate levels in stomach, pancreas, ovary, thyroid gland and spleen. Weakly expressed in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417297}.
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. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The ricin B-type lectin domain binds to GalNAc and contributes to the glycopeptide specificity. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. GalNAc-T subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAB14676.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
