About A3galt2

Summary

Enables N-acetyllactosaminide 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase activity and alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in cellular response to manganese ion and lipid glycosylation. Acts upstream of or within glycosphingolipid biosynthetic process. Located in Golgi apparatus and vesicle. Orthologous to human A3GALT2 (alpha 1,3-galactosyltransferase 2).
