EC 2.4.1.313

Accepted name: protein O-mannose β-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine + 3-O-[N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-α-D-mannosyl]-L-threonyl-[protein] = UDP + 3-O-[N-acetyl-β-D-galactosaminyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-α-D-mannosyl]-L-threonyl-[protein]

Other name(s): B3GALNT2

Systematic name: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine:N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-α-D-mannosyl-threonyl-[protein] 3-β-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyltransferase

Comments: The human protein is specific for UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine as donor [1]. The enzyme is involved in the formation of a phosphorylated trisaccharide on a threonine residue of α-dystroglycan, an extracellular peripheral glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin-G domains.
