Also known as beta3GalT6
Summary
B3GALT6 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6, HGNC:17978) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.33, encoding Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6 (Q96L58). Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase that transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates with a terminal beta-linked galactose residue.
The enzyme encoded by this intronless gene is a beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase found in the medial Golgi apparatus, where it catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates containing a terminal beta-linked galactose moiety. The encoded enzyme has a particular affinity for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose found in the linker region of glycosamines. This enzyme is required for glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Function. Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase that transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to substrates with a terminal beta-linked galactose residue. Has a preference for galactose-beta-1,4-xylose that is found in the linker region of glycosaminoglycans, such as heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. Has no activity towards substrates with terminal glucosamine or galactosamine residues.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus. Golgi stack membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Disease relevance. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, spondylodysplastic type, 2 (EDSSPD2) [MIM:615349] A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSSPD2 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by an aged appearance, developmental delay, short stature, craniofacial disproportion, generalized osteopenia, defective wound healing, hypermobile joints, hypotonic muscles, and loose but elastic skin. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, 1, with or without fractures (SEMDJL1) [MIM:271640] A bone disease characterized by vertebral abnormalities and ligamentous laxity that result in spinal misalignment and progressive severe kyphoscoliosis, thoracic asymmetry, and respiratory compromise resulting in early death. Additional skeletal features include elbow deformities with radial head dislocation, dislocated hips, clubfeet, and tapered fingers with spatulate distal phalanges. Many affected children have an oval face, flat midface, prominent eyes with blue sclerae, and a long philtrum. Palatal abnormalities and congenital heart disease are also observed. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Al-Gazali syndrome (ALGAZ) [MIM:609465] A severe disorder characterized by prenatal growth retardation, large joints contractures, camptodactyly, bilateral talipes equinovarus, small mouth, anterior segment anomalies of the eyes, and early lethality. The transmission pattern of the disorder is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Glycan metabolism; chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis. Glycan metabolism; heparan sulfate biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 69 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
