β-1,4-Gal-T3 (F304) polyclonal antibody

The β-1,3 galactosyltransferase(β3GalT) gene family encodes a set of type II transmembrane glycoproteins that are catalytically diverse and use different donor substrates (UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine) and different acceptor sugars (N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine) to catalyze the addition of an activated monosaccharide to a terminal lactose. The protein coding sequences for β-1,3-Gal-T genes comprise a single exon and are distantly related to the Drosophila Brainiac gene. The β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (β4GalT) gene family encodes type II membrane-bound glycoproteins that show exclusive specificity for the donor substrate, UDP-galactose. β-1,4Gal-T genes transfer galactose in a β-1,4 linkage to similar acceptor
