Summary: Predicted to enable UDP-galactose:beta-N-acetylglucosamine beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in synaptic target recognition. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; dorsal ectoderm; dorsal ectoderm anlage; embryonic epipharynx; and primordial germ cell. Orthologous to human B3GALT1 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 1); B3GALT2 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 2); and B3GALT5 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 5).
