General annotation (Comments)

Function

Glycosaminoglycans biosynthesis. Involved in forming the linkage tetrasaccharide present in heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. Transfers a glucuronic acid moiety from the uridine diphosphate-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA) to the common linkage region trisaccharide Gal-beta-1,3-Gal-beta-1,4-Xyl covalently bound to a Ser residue at the glycosaminylglycan attachment site of proteoglycans. Can also play a role in the biosynthesis of l2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on glycoproteins. Shows strict specificity for Gal-beta-1,3-Gal-beta-1,4-Xyl, exhibiting negligible incorporation into other galactoside substrates including Galbeta1-3Gal beta1-O-benzyl, Galbeta1-4GlcNAc and Galbeta1-4Glc.

Catalytic activity

UDP-glucuronate + 3-beta-D-galactosyl-4-beta-D-galactosyl-O-beta-D-xylosylprotein = UDP + 3-beta-D-glucuronosyl-3-beta-D-galactosyl-4-beta-D-galactosyl-O-beta-D-xylosylprotein.

Cofactor

Manganese.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by EDTA.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Subunit structure

Homodimer; disulfide-linked.

Subcellular location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous (but weakly expressed in all tissues examined).

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 43 family.
