This gene encodes a member of the
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide
N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes.
GalNAc-Ts initiate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi
apparatus by catalyzing the transfer of GalNAc to serine and
threonine residues on target proteins. They are characterized by an
N-terminal transmembrane domain, a stem region, a lumenal catalytic
domain containing a GT1 motif and Gal/GalNAc transferase motif, and
a C-terminal ricin/lectin-like domain. GalNAc-Ts have different,
but overlapping, substrate specificities and patterns of
expression. The encoded protein is capable of glycosylating
fibronectin peptide in vitro and is expressed in a fibroblast cell
line, indicating that it may be involved in the synthesis of
oncofetal fibronectin.1) Rose, J.E., et al. Mol. Med. 16 (7-8), 247-253 (2010) :
