B3GAT3
Galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase
3
is an
enzyme
that in
humans
is
encoded
by the
B3GAT3
gene
.
The
protein
encoded by this gene is a member of the
glucuronyltransferase
gene family
,
enzymes
that
exhibit
strict
acceptor
specificity
,
recognizing
nonreducing
terminal
sugars and their
anomeric linkages
. This
gene product
catalyzes
the
formation
of the glycosaminoglycan-protein
linkage
by way of a glucuronyl
transfer
reaction
in the
final
step of the
biosynthesis
of the linkage
region
of
proteoglycans
.
