Official Full Name
β-1,3-HexNAc transferase
Background
In enzymology, a β-1,3-N-Acetyl-Hexosaminyl-transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + β-D-galactosyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = UDP + N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→6)-β-D-galactosyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R.
Synonyms
