  Domain Name: Glyco_transf_6
Glycosyltransferase family 6 comprises enzymes responsible for the production of the human ABO blood group antigens. Glycosyltransferase family 6, GT_6, comprises enzymes with three known activities: alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase, alpha-1,3 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, and alpha-galactosyltransferase. UDP-galactose:beta-galactosyl alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase (alpha3GT) catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-alpha-d-galactose into an alpha-1,3 linkage with beta-galactosyl groups in glycoconjugates. The enzyme exists in most mammalian species but is absent from humans, apes, and old world monkeys as a result of the mutational inactivation of the gene. The alpha-1,3 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and alpha-galactosyltransferase are responsible for the production of the human ABO blood group antigens. A N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases use a UDP-GalNAc donor to convert the H-antigen acceptor to the A antigen, whereas a galactosyltransferase uses a UDP-galactose donor to convert the H-antigen acceptor to the B antigen. Alpha-1,3 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and alpha-galactosyltransferase differ only in the identity of four critical amino acid residues.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
