Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to an acceptor molecule (R). Synthesizes the galactose-alpha(1,3)-galactose group, which is the most common carbohydrate containing terminal alpha-galactose. Preferentially glycosylates lipids.
Catalytic activity	UDP-galactose + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = UDP + alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyl-R.
Cofactor	Manganese By similarity.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subcellular location	Golgi apparatus Potential.
Domain	The conserved DXD motif is involved in cofactor binding. The manganese ion interacts with the beta-phosphate group of UDP and may also have a role in catalysis.
Disruption phenotype	Mice are fertile, develop normally and exhibit no overt behavioral abnormalities. However, compared to heterozygous mice they lack expression of the glycosphingolipid isoglobotrihexosylceramide (iGb3) in the dorsal root ganglion. Ref.3
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family.
