Abstract excerpt
A human cDNA encoding a novel galactosyltransferase was identified based on BLAST analysis of expressed sequence tags, and the cDNA clones were isolated, showing a type II membrane protein with 327 amino acids and 38% homology to the Caenorhabditis elegans sqv-3 gene involved in vulval invagination and oocyte development. This cDNA exhibited marked galactosyltransferase activity specific for...
