Notes: β-(1->4)-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (β1-4GalNAcT) from C. jejuni is a glycosyltransferase involved in lipooligosaccharide synthesis.{49518,72492} There are three variants of C. jejuni β1-4GalNAcT: CgtA, CgtA-I, and CgtA-II, which are functionally homologous despite the sequences being only 34% conserved.{72492,72493} CgtA-II transfers N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to mono- or disialylated galactose moieties.{72493} CgtA-II has been used in the semisynthesis of ganglioside GM2 and -GD2 glycans.{49518} Cayman’s β-(1->4)-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (CgtA-II) (C. jejuni, recombinant) protein can be used for biosynthesis applications.
