Function | Galactose (Gal) transferase involved in the synthesis of terminal N-acetyllactosamine (LacNac) unit present on glycan chains of glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids (PubMed:9792633, PubMed:17690104, PubMed:12511560, PubMed:32827291). Catalyzes the transfer of Gal residue via a beta1->4 linkage from UDP-Gal to the non-reducing terminal N-acetyl glucosamine 6-O-sulfate (6-O-sulfoGlcNAc) in the linearly growing chain of both N- and O-linked keratan sulfate proteoglycans. Cooperates with B3GNT7 N-acetyl glucosamine transferase and CHST6 and CHST1 sulfotransferases to construct and elongate mono- and disulfated disaccharide units [->3Galbeta1->4(6- sulfoGlcNAcbeta)1->] and [->3(6-sulfoGalbeta)1->4(6- sulfoGlcNAcbeta)1->] within keratan sulfate polymer (PubMed:17690104). Transfers Gal residue via a beta1->4 linkage to terminal 6-O- sulfoGlcNAc within the LacNac unit of core 2 O-glycans forming 6-sulfo- sialyl-Lewis X (sLex). May contribute to the generation of sLex epitope on mucin-type glycoproteins that serve as ligands for SELL/L-selectin, a major regulator of leukocyte migration (PubMed:12511560). In the biosynthesis pathway of neolacto-series glycosphingolipids, transfers Gal residue via a beta1->4 linkage to terminal GlcNAc of a lactotriaosylceramide (Lc3Cer) acceptor to form a neolactotetraosylceramide (PubMed:9792633). |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Secreted |
Tissue Location | Highest expression is observed in placenta, pancreas, kidney and heart (PubMed:9792633). Expressed in corneal epithelial cells (PubMed:17690104). |

Background
This gene is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase(beta4GalT) genes. They encode type II membrane-bound glycoproteinsthat appear to have exclusive specificity for the donor substrateUDP-galactose; all transfer galactose in a beta1,4 linkage tosimilar acceptor sugars: GlcNAc, Glc, and Xyl. Each beta4GalT has adistinct function in the biosynthesis of different glycoconjugatesand saccharide structures. As type II membrane proteins, they havean N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence that directs the proteinto the Golgi apparatus and which then remains uncleaved to functionas a transmembrane anchor. By sequence similarity, the beta4GalTsform four groups: beta4GalT1 and beta4GalT2, beta4GalT3 andbeta4GalT4, beta4GalT5 and beta4GalT6, and beta4GalT7. The enzymeencoded by this gene appears to mainly play a role in glycolipidbiosynthesis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants havebeen found for this gene.
