Function

Glycosyltransferase that can synthesize all known mucin beta 6 N-acetylglucosaminides. Mediates core 2 and core 4 O-glycan branching, 2 important steps in mucin-type biosynthesis. Has also I-branching enzyme activity by converting linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, leading to introduce the blood group I antigen during embryonic development.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Post-translational modifications

N-glycosylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 14 family.

Tissue specificity

Primarily expressed in mucus-secreting tissues. Expressed in colon, kidney, small intestine, trachea, and stomach, where mucin is produced.

Cellular localization

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