Function Responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids. Can produce lactose.
Subcellular Location Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Trans cisternae of Golgi stack.
Tissue Specificity Weakly expressed in various tissues. Highest expression in prostate, testis, ovary, intestine, muscle, and in fetal brain.
Top Pathways N-Glycan biosynthesis, Other types of O-glycan biosynthesis, Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis - keratan sulfate, Galactose metabolism, Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lacto and neolacto series
