Type: | Family | Name: | Galactosyltransferase 34 |
Description: | This family represents a group glycosyltransferases from plants and fungi, including Mnn10/Mnn11 from budding yeasts, Gma12/Gmh1-3 from fission yeasts and xyloglucan 6-xylosyltransferase 1/2 (XXT1/XXT2) from Arabisopsis.Mnn10 and Mnn11 are subunits of a Golgi mannosyltransferase complex, which mediates elongation of the polysaccharide mannan backbone []. Gma12 is involved in the O- and N-linked oligosaccharide modification of proteins transported through the Golgi stack, while Gmh3 is involved in the galactosylation of the N-linked core oligosaccharide Man9GlcNAc2 [].XXT1 and XXT2 are xylosyltransferases specific to UDP-D-xylose that accepts both cellopentaose and cellohexaose as substrates, with a better use of cellohexaose, to produce xyloglucan []. | Short Name: | Glyco_trans_34 |
