Product Description: alpha-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (LgtC) (A4GALT) is a glycosphingolipid-specific glycosyltransferase. alpha-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (LgtC) transfers a galactose to the alpha-1,4 position of lactosylceramide to form globotriaosylceramide. alpha-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (LgtC) can be used for the synthesis of P1 blood group antigens[1][2].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
