B3GNT2

Beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase involved in the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine. Catalyzes the initiation and elongation of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. Shows a marked preference for Gal(beta1-4)Glc(NAc)-based acceptors (PubMed:9892646). Probably constitutes the main polylactosamine synthase.

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.

Ubiquitous.

• Golgi apparatus membrane
• Single-pass type II membrane protein
