The present invention provides substantially purified UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: .alpha.-6-D-mannoside .beta.-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (GlcNAc T-V; EC 2.4.1.155) proteins and antibodies which specifically bind GlcNAc T-V. The present invention also provides polynucleotide sequences and oligonucleotide probes capable of specifically hybridizing to nucleic acid sequences which encode GlcNAc T-V, and cDNA and genomic clones encoding GlcNAc T-V, as well as nucleotide sequences encoding GlcNAc T-V, as specifically exemplified by GlcNAc T-V coding sequences from rat, hamster, mouse and human.
