| Function | Beta-1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of Sd(a) histo-blood group antigen. Catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) group in a beta-1,4-linkage from UDP- GalNAc to the galactose residue of NeuAcalpha2->3Gal-R to form Sd(a) glycan epitope GalNAcbeta1->4(NeuAcalpha2->3)Gal-R. The Sd(a) epitope is carried in O- and N-linked glycoproteins and glycolipids, including O-linked core 1 structures on GYPA/glycophorin, SLC4A1 and SLC29A1 in erythrocytes, N-linked glycans attached to the Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein UMOD/uromodulin in renal fluids, O-linked core 3 glycans on mucins in colon and neolactosides in gastric mucosa (PubMed:12678917, PubMed:14688233, PubMed:16024623, PubMed:35409292). Confers protection against influenza A virus strains that attach to NeuAcalpha2->3-carrying host receptors. Modifies N-glycan chains on host receptors and prevents virus entry into cells (PubMed:28813663). |
| Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Partially colocalizes with EEA1 and LAMP2 in early endosomes and lysosomes, respectively. |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Highly expressed in colon and to a lesser extent in kidney, stomach, ileum and rectum |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
