B3GNT2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

SKU: orb1956646

Description

B3GNT2 belongs to the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. It is a type II transmembrane protein that prefers the substrate of lacto-N-neotetraose. Alternative splicing produced 2 isoforms of the human protein. B3GNT2 catalyzes the initiation and elongation of poly-N- acetyllactosamine chains. Enzymatic activities of some glycosyltransferases are markedly increased via complex formation with other transferases or cofactor proteins. B3GNT2 and beta3Gn-T8 can form a heterodimer in vitro and that the complex exhibits much higher enzymatic activity than either enzyme alone. It is found that up-regulation of beta3Gn-T8 in differentiated HL-60 cells may increase poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains by activating intrinsic B3GNT2.
