Sysname
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine:beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
Reaction(IUBMB)
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-R = UDP + beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-[beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->6)]-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-R [RN:
R11879 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine [CPD:
C00043 ];
beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-R [CPD:
C21742 ]
Product
UDP [CPD:

beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-[beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->6)]-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-R [CPD:
C21743 ]
Comment
The enzyme acts on poly-N-acetyllactosamine [glycan chains of beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units connected by beta(1,3) linkages] attached to proteins or lipids. It transfers a GlcNAc residue by beta(1,6)-linkage to galactosyl residues close to non-reducing terminals, introducing a branching pattern known as I branching.
