GALNT16

HO-Ser/Thr		GalNAc(alpha1-O)-Ser/Thr

This enzyme catalyzes the GalNAc-transfer from UDP-GalNAc to Ser or Thr residue in the protein. The product is GalNAc-alpha-O-Ser/Thr structure, so-called Tn-antigen, which is the base structure of mucin type O-glycan. The acceptor substrate (protein) is typically Mucin. GALNT16 is the 16th member of this enzyme family. This isozyme is identified by Raman et al. in 2012.
