In enzymology a glucosaminylgalactosylglucosylceramide beta-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.86) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-galactose + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D- glucosyl-(11)-ceramide UDP + beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D- galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(11)-ceramideThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose [[N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-]] and glucosyl-(11)-ceramide whereas its 3 products are UDP [[beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-]] and [[galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(11)-ceramide]].This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
