High impact information on B3GALT6

A recombinant SQV-2 fusion protein had galactosyltransferase II activity with substrate specificity similar to that of human galactosyltransferase II [1].
Initiation of chondroitin sulphate synthesis by beta-D-galactosides. Substrates for galactosyltransferase II [2].
The clinical usefulness of tissue polypeptide antigen, galactosyltransferase II and pancreatic oncofetal antigen was evaluated in detecting pancreatic cancer and in differentiating this malignancy from chronic pancreatitis and other diseases (mainly of the liver and biliary tract) which may enter in differential diagnosis [3].
