In enzymology a N-acetyllactosaminide beta-16-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase (EC 2.4.1.150) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-galactosyl-14-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R UDP + N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-16-beta-D-galactosyl-14-N-acetyl-D- glucosaminyl-RThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and beta-D-galactosyl-14-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R whereas its 3 products are UDP N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-16-beta-D-galactosyl-14-N-acetyl-D- and glucosaminyl-R.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
