Abstract excerpt
Mucin type O-glycosylation begins with the transfer of GalNAc to serine and threonine residues on proteins by a family of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminlytransferases. These enzymes all contain a lectin-like (QXW)(3) repeat sequence at the C terminus that consists of three tandem repeats (alpha, beta, and gamma). The putative lectin domain of one of the most ubiquitous isozymes, GalNAc-T1, is...
