| Function | Responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9792633}. |
| Subcellular Location | Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Trans cisternae of Golgi stack. |
| Tissue Specificity | High expression in heart, placenta, kidney and pancreas; lower in brain, colon, lung, muscle, ovary, testis and uterus. |
| Top Pathways | Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis - keratan sulfate, Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - lacto and neolacto series |
