UniProt functional annotation for P14769

UniProt code: P14769.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Synthesizes the galactose-alpha(1,3)-galactose group by catalyzing the transfer of a galactose residue, with an alpha-1,3 linkage, on terminal lactosaminide (Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-R) disaccharide borne by a glycoprotein or a glycolipid. Preferentially glycosylates proteins, can synthesize galactose-alpha(1,3)-galactose on glycoproteins but cannot synthesize the glycolipid called isoglobotrihexosylceramide or isogloboside 3 (iGb3). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23336}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl derivative + UDP-alpha-D-galactose = an alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->3)- beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl derivative + H(+) + UDP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13013, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:58223, ChEBI:CHEBI:66914, ChEBI:CHEBI:133507, ChEBI:CHEBI:138024; EC=2.4.1.87; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11592969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12011052};
Cofactor: Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11179209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11592969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12011052}; Note=Binds 1 Mn(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11179209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11592969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12011052};
Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular location: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single- pass type II membrane protein. Note=Membrane-bound form in trans cisternae of Golgi.
Domain: The conserved DXD motif is involved in cofactor binding. The manganese ion interacts with the beta-phosphate group of UDP and may also have a role in catalysis.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family. {ECO:0000305}.
