Can also catalyze the addition of galactose to iGb3 itself to form polygalactose structures. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23378701}. |Glyco transf 6| |N-acetyllactosaminide 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase activity| |alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity| |lipid glycosylation| |cellular response to manganese ion| |transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups| |response to manganese ion| |glycosphingolipid biosynthetic process| |glycolipid biosynthetic process| |glycosphingolipid metabolic process| |sphingolipid biosynthetic process| |Golgi cisterna membrane| |glycolipid metabolic process| |liposaccharide metabolic process| |membrane lipid biosynthetic process| |vesicle| |sphingolipid metabolic process| |cellular response to metal ion| |lipid modification| |membrane lipid metabolic process| |cellular response to inorganic substance| |glycosylation| |response to metal ion| |carbohydrate metabolic process| |response to inorganic substance| |lipid biosynthetic process| |carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |Golgi apparatus| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
