About This Section

EntrezGene summary for B3GALT2:
This gene is a member of the beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (beta3GalT) gene family. This family
encodes type II membrane-bound glycoproteins with diverse enzymatic functions using different
donor substrates (UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine) and different acceptor sugars
(N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine). The beta3GalT genes are distantly related
to the Drosophila Brainiac gene and have the protein coding sequence contained in a single exon.
The beta3GalT proteins also contain conserved sequences not found in the beta4GalT or alpha3GalT
proteins. The carbohydrate chains synthesized by these enzymes are designated as type 1, whereas
beta4GalT enzymes synthesize type 2 carbohydrate chains. The ratio of type 1:type 2 chains changes
during embryogenesis. By sequence similarity, the beta3GalT genes fall into at least two groups:
beta3GalT4 and 4 other beta3GalT genes (beta3GalT1-3, beta3GalT5). This gene encodes a protein
that functions in N-linked glycoprotein glycosylation and shows strict donor substrate specificity
for UDP-galactose. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: B3GT2_HUMAN, O43825
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. Involved in the biosynthesis of the
carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Inactive towards substrates with terminal
alpha-N-acetylglucosamine (alpha-GlcNAc) or alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine (alpha-GalNAc) residues
