Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables galactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process. Located in Golgi medial cisterna. Is active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in medial ganglionic eminence. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome spondylodysplastic type 2 and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 1. Orthologous to human B3GALT6 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6).
