General annotation (Comments)

Function

Required for the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

UDP-alpha-D-galactose + beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide = UDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide. Ref.1

Cofactor

Manganese or magnesium or calcium. Ref.1

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by EDTA.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Subcellular location

Golgi apparatus › Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. Note: Trans cisternae of Golgi stack By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Highest expression in brain with lower levels found in lungs, heart, skeletal muscle and kidney. Lowest expression in testis, liver and spleen. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 7 family.

Biophysicochemical properties
