This gene is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4GalT) genes.
They encode type II membrane-bound glycoproteins that appear to have exclusive specificity for the donor substrate UDP-galactose; all transfer galactose in a beta1,4 linkage to similar acceptor sugars: GlcNAc, Glc, and Xyl.
Each beta4GalT has a distinct function in the biosynthesis of different glycoconjugates and saccharide structures.
As type II membrane proteins, they have an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence that directs the protein to the Golgi apparatus and which then remains uncleaved to function as a transmembrane anchor.
By sequence similarity, the beta4GalTs form four groups: beta4GalT1 and beta4GalT2, beta4GalT3 and beta4GalT4, beta4GalT5 and beta4GalT6, and beta4GalT7.
The enzyme encoded by this gene synthesizes N-acetyllactosamine in glycolipids and glycoproteins.
Its substrate specificity is affected by alpha-lactalbumin but it is not expressed in lactating mammary tissue.
Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.
