ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.150

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.1.150
Accepted Name
N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
I-branching beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
a beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc derivative + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = a beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-[beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->6)]-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl derivative + UDP + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme acts on poly-N-acetyllactosamine [glycan chains of beta-D- galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units connected by beta(1,3) linkages] attached to proteins or lipids.
  • It transfers a GlcNAc residue by beta(1,6) linkage to galactosyl residues close to non-reducing terminals, introducing a branching pattern known as I branching.
  • Formerly EC 2.4.1.164.
