| Function | Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase that transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates with a terminal beta-N- acetylglucosamine (beta-GlcNAc) residue. Involved in the biosynthesis of the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Inactive towards substrates with terminal alpha-N- acetylglucosamine (alpha-GlcNAc) or alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine (alpha-GalNAc) residues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9582303}. |
| Subcellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected in brain and colon mucosa and to a lesser extent in colon adenocarcinoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10356986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9582303}. |
