N-acetyllactosamine synthase is a galactosyltransferase enzyme.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] It is a component of lactose synthase [citation needed ] This enzyme modifies the connection between two molecule UDP-galactose and N-actyl-D-glucosamine and generates two different molecules UDP and N-acetyllactosamine as products.[ 7] The main function of the enzyme is associated with the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids in both human and animals.[ 7] In human, the activity of this enzyme can be found in Golgi apparatus .[ 7]
It is classified under EC 2.4.1.90 .
The lack of this enzyme leads to glycolysation[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] which is a serious neurological disease. The nature of the disease causes fluid in the brain, abnormal inflammatory response and abnormal bleeding issues.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
