B4GALT2

Responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids (PubMed:9405390). Can produce lactose (PubMed:9405390).

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 7 family.

Weakly expressed in various tissues. Highest expression in prostate, testis, ovary, intestine, muscle, and in fetal brain.
