Function | [Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1]: The Golgi complex form catalyzes the production of lactose in the lactating mammary gland and could also be responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform Long]: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Cell surface. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15535}. Note=Found in trans cisternae of Golgi but is mainly localized at the plasma membrane (PubMed:1714903) B4GALT1 cell surface expression is regulated by UBE2Q1 (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1714903} [Processed beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1]: Secreted.

Background
B4GalT1 is an enzyme that participates both in glycoconjugate and lactose biosynthesis. For the first activity, the enzyme adds galactose to N-acetylglucosamine residues that are either monosaccharides or the nonreducing ends of glycoprotein carbohydrate chains. The second activity is restricted to lactating mammary tissues where the enzyme forms a heterodimer with alpha-lactalbumin to catalyze UDP-galactose + D-glucose <=> UDP + lactose. The two enzymatic forms result from alternate transcription initiation sites and post-translational processing.
