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. GALNT11 is the eleventh member of this enzyme family. GALNT11 was found to be selectively expressed in kidney, suggesting non-redundant function of this isozyme.

UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
J. Biol. Chem. 2002-06-01 ;277(25):22623-38.
Functional conservation of subfamilies of putative UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases in Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammals. One subfamily composed of l(2)35Aa is essential in Drosophila.
