Format | Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. |
Storage Conditions | -20℃ |
Name | B4GALT5 (HGNC:928) |
---|---|
Function | Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) (PubMed:24498430). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all gangliosides (membrane-bound glycosphingolipids) which play pivotal roles in the CNS including neuronal maturation and axonal and myelin formation (By similarity). Plays a role in the glycosylation of BMPR1A and regulation of its protein stability (By similarity). Essential for extraembryonic development during early embryogenesis (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15291}; Single-pass type II membrane protein Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A1S6M251}. Note=Trans cisternae of Golgi stack. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15291} |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed. |
