Description

A β-1,3-GalNAc transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactose + D-galactose = UDP + N-acetyl-β-D-galacosaminyl-(1→3)-β-D-galactose.

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 1 μmol of GalNAcβ1,3-Gal from UDP-GalNAc and Gal per min at 37°C.
