Beta-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (LgtB)

Beta-1,4-Galactosyltransferase LgtB (B4GALT1 (LgtB) ) is an enzyme that synthesizes the galactose β-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (LacNAc) disaccharide from UDP-galactose and N-acetylglucosamine. It is a vital tool for glycolipid and glycoprotein synthesis in vitro and for studying cell surface interactions and glycosylation pathways in biochemical research.
