General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in cell wall arabinan biosynthesis. Catalyzes the addition of the first key arabinofuranosyl residue from the sugar donor beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-1-monophosphoryldecaprenol to the galactan domain of the cell wall, thus 'priming' the galactan for further elaboration by other arabinofuranosyltransferases. Ref.3
Enzyme regulation	Not inhibited by the anti-tuberculosis drug ethambutol [(S,S')-2,2'-(ethylenediimino)di-1-butanol; EMB]. Ref.3
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Ref.3
Biotechnological use	May represent a new drug target for further exploitation by chemotherapeutic intervention.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 85 family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAK48265.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 614.
