    basic FUNCTION
  • key enzyme that catalyzes beta(1-6) branching of N-acetylglucosamine on N-glycan of cell proteins, some of which are linked with metastasis
  • involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides
  • one of the most important enzymes involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of glycoprotein oligosaccharides
  • involved in growth factor receptor signaling
