General annotation (Comments)

Function	Glycosyltransferase that participates in the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the core mannose residues of N-linked glycans. Catalyzes the formation of the GlcNAcbeta1-4 branch on the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans. Essential for the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains. Involved in glucose transport by mediating SLC2A2/GLUT2 glycosylation, thereby controlling cell-surface expression of SLC2A2 in pancreatic beta cells.
Catalytic activity	UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + 3-(2-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-alpha-D-mannosyl)-beta-D-mannosyl-R = UDP + 3-(2,4-bis(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-alpha-D-mannosyl)-beta-D-mannosyl-R.
Cofactor	Divalent metal cations By similarity.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Subcellular location	Alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A: Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. Alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A soluble form: Secreted By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes and lymph node. Strongly overexpressed in choriocarcinoma cancer cell lines. Down-regulated in pancreatic cancer. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 54 family.
Biophysicochemical properties	Kinetic parameters: KM=0.118 mM for UDP-GlcNAc Ref.8
