General annotation (Comments)

Function	Transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to N-acetylglucosamine-beta-benzyl with a beta-1,4-linkage to form N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine, GalNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNAc structures in N-linked glycans and probably O-linked glycans. Mediates the N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine formation on gastric mucosa. Ref.4
Catalytic activity	UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group = UDP + N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl group. Ref.1
Subcellular location	Golgi apparatus › Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note: Localizes to apical Golgi. Ref.4
Tissue specificity	Highly expressed in testis, colon and stomach. Weakly expressed in other tissues. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family.
