PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.1.179
Accepted Name
lactosylceramide beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
a beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl derivative + UDP-alpha-D-galactose = a beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosaminyl derivative + UDP + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • R may be an oligosaccharide or a glycolipid.
  • Lactose can also act as acceptor, more slowly.
  • Involved in the elongation of oligosaccharide chains, especially in glycolipids.
