Accepted name: acetylgalactosaminyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-R = UDP + N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→6)-[N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→3)]-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-R

Other name(s): O-glycosyl-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IV; uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine-mucin β(1→6)-acetylglucosaminyltransferase B; core 4 β6-GalNAc-transferase; core 6β-GalNAc-transferase B

Systematic name: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:O-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to N-acetyl-D-galactosamine of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-R) β-(1→6)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyltransferase

Comments: cf. EC 2.4.1.102 (β-1,3-galactosyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase), EC 2.4.1.146 (β-1,3-galactosyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase) and EC 2.4.1.147 (acetylgalactosaminyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).
