CC   -!- FUNCTION: Synthesizes the galactose-alpha(1,3)-galactose group on
CC       the glycosphingolipid isoglobotrihexosylceramide or isogloboside 3
CC       (iGb3) by catalyzing the transfer of galactose from UDP-Galactose
CC       to its acceptor molecule Gal-beta-1,4-Glc-ceramide. Can also
CC       catalyze the addition of galactose to iGb3 itself to form
CC       polygalactose structures. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23378701}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: UDP-alpha-D-galactose + beta-D-galactosyl-
CC       (1->4)-beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-R = UDP + alpha-D-galactosyl-
CC       (1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyl-R.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3V1N9}.
CC   -!- COFACTOR:
CC       Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A4Z3}; Single-pass type II membrane
CC       protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A4Z3}. Note=Also found in
CC       numerous large vesicles throughout the cytoplasm of the soma.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A4Z3}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in thymus and monocyte derived
CC       dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23378701}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The conserved DXD motif is involved in cofactor binding.
CC       The manganese ion interacts with the beta-phosphate group of UDP
CC       and may also have a role in catalysis (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- CAUTION: According to a report, the spliced A3GALT2 mRNA is not
CC       detected in human tissues (PubMed:18630988). The functional
CC       activity of human A3GALT2 tested by expressing a chimeric protein
CC       containing the catalytic domain of human A3GALT2 is unable to
CC       synthesize isogloboside 3 (iGb3). Futhermore mutagenesis
CC       experiments in rat, show that the mutant 'Asn-253' of human
CC       A3GALT2 completely eliminates alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase
CC       activity (PubMed:18630988). {ECO:0000303|PubMed:18630988}.
