galt-1

Gene
galt-1
Protein
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase galt-1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
425 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the transfer of beta-galactose from UDP-galactose to position 4 of alpha-1,6-linked fucose at the reducing end GlcNAc in N-glycan cores (PubMed:19858195). Involved in susceptibility to the nematotoxic C.cinerea galectin Cgl2, likely by contributing to the synthesis of core alpha-1,6-fucosylated N-glycans to which Cgl2 binds (PubMed:20062796).
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 92 family.
Mass
