Glycosyltransferase that acts on alpha-linked mannose of N-glycans and O-mannosyl glycans. Catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the beta 1-6 linkage of the mannose residue of GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha on both the alpha1,3- and alpha1,6-linked mannose arms in the core structure of N-glycan. Also acts on the GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha1-Ser/Thr moiety, forming a 2,6-branched structure in brain O-mannosyl glycan. Plays an active role in modulating integrin and laminin-dependent adhesion and migration of neuronal cells via its activity in the O-mannosyl glycan pathway.
Golgi apparatus membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein .
Predominantly expressed in brain. Expressed in all areas of the adult and fetal brain. Also expressed at much lower levels in testis, spleen and thymus.
