GGDB:

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. GALNT6 is the sixth member of this enzyme family. This was discovered as a highly homologous gene with GALNT3, but its function is not redundant with T3.
