A cDNA encoding a novel galactosyltransferase was identified based on BLAST analysis of
expressed sequence tags, and the cDNA clones were isolated from a human melanoma line
library. The new cDNA sequence encoded a type II membrane protein with 327 amino acid
sequence and showed 38% homology to theCaenorhabditis elegans sqv-3 gene involved in
the vulval invagination and oocyte development. Extracts from L cells transfected with the
galactosyltransferase cDNA in an expression vector and a fusion protein with protein A …
