Description
Catalyzes the formation of Forssman glycolipid via the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in alpha-1,3-linkage to GalNAcb-1,3Gala-1,4Galb-1,4GlcCer (Gb4Cer). Forssman glycolipid (also called Forssman antigen; FG) probably serves for adherence of some pathogens. Conversely, it diminishes Shiga toxins susceptibility.
Family
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family.
