Based on the detection of expressed sequence tags that are similar to known
galactosyltransferase sequences, we have isolated three novel UDP-galactose: β-N-
acetylglucosamine β1, 3-galactosyltransferase (β3GalT) genes from a mouse genomic
library. The three genes, named β3GalT-I,-II, and-III, encode type II transmembrane proteins
of 326, 422, and 331 amino acids, respectively. The three proteins constitute a distinct
subfamily as they do not share any sequence identity with other eucaryotic …
