Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables fucosylgalactoside 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase activity and glycoprotein-fucosylgalactoside alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; extracellular region; and vesicle. Is expressed in alimentary system; male reproductive gland or organ; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria; graft-versus-host disease; leukemia (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and severe acute respiratory syndrome. Orthologous to human ABO (ABO, alpha 1-3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and alpha 1-3-galactosyltransferase).
