General annotation (Comments)

Function	Glycosyltransferase that can synthesize all known mucin beta 6 N-acetylglucosaminides. Mediates core 2 and core 4 O-glycan branching, 2 important steps in mucin-type biosynthesis. Has also I-branching enzyme activity by converting linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, leading to introduce the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. Ref.1
Catalytic activity	UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-galactosyl-1,3-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-R = UDP + beta-D-galactosyl-1,3-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-1,6)-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-R. Ref.1 UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = UDP + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-1,6-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subcellular location	Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Primarily expressed in mucus-secreting tissues. Expressed in colon, kidney, small intestine, trachea, and stomach, where mucin is produced. Ref.1 Ref.3
Induction	By all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), TNF and IL13/interleukin-13. Strongly down-regulated in colorectal cancer. Ref.3 Ref.5 Ref.6
Post-translational modification	N-glycosylated By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 14 family.
