Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the isolation and expression of a glycosyltransferase enzyme for use in the synthesis of oligosaccharide or polysaccharide structures on glycoproteins, glycolipids, or as free molecules. The gene coding for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and the polypeptide sequence of the acceptor peptide for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase have been isolated and used for the control of glycosylation of a protein.
