Summary
This gene encodes a glycosyltransferase that plays a role in the synthesis of Forssman glycolipid (FG), a member of the globoseries glycolipid family. Glycolipids such as FG form attachment sites for the binding of pathogens to cells; expression of this protein may determine host tropism to microorganisms. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

Comment Type Description
Alternative Products Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=Q8N5D6-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q8N5D6-2; Sequence=VSP_013750; Note=No experimental confirmation available.; Name=3; IsoId=Q8N5D6-3; Sequence=VSP_055375; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Caution In contrast to its mouse or canine ortholog, it does not mediate the formation of Forssman glycolipid (also called Forssman antigen; FG), which does not exist in human. It is unknown whether it has no enzyme activity at all or has some distinct substrate specificity compared to the canine and mouse protein.
Cofactor Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI
Domain The conserved DXD motif is involved in cofactor binding. The manganese ion interacts with the beta-phosphate group of UDP and may also have a role in catalysis (By similarity).
Function Catalyzes the formation of some glycolipid via the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in alpha-1,3-linkage to some substrate. Glycolipids probably serve for adherence of some pathogens.
Pathway Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Similarity Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family.
Subcellular Location Golgi apparatus membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein .
Tissue Specificity Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in placenta, ovary and peripheral blood leukocyte, whereas it is weakly expressed in liver, thymus, and testis.
