Protein name Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 2 (Beta-1,3-GalTase 2) (Beta3Gal-T2) (Beta3GalT2) (EC 2.4.1.86) (UDP-galactose:2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose 3beta-galactosyltransferase 2)
Protein function Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase that transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates with a terminal beta-N-acetylglucosamine (beta-GlcNAc) residue. Can also utilize substrates with a terminal galactose residue, albeit with lower efficiency.
