- Lactosylceramide beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a lactosylceramide beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.179) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-galactose + D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R UDP + D-galactosyl-1,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-galactose andD-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R , whereas its two products are UDP andD-galactosyl-1,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphogalactose-lactosylceramide, and beta1->3-galactosyltransferase.References
