Activity of UDP-GlcNAc:GlcNAc beta 1-->6(GlcNAc beta 1-->2) Man alpha 1-->R[GlcNAc to Man] beta 1-->4N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase VI (GnT VI) from the ovaries of Oryzias latipes (Medaka fish). 1997

UDP-GlcNAc:GlcNAc beta 1-->(GlcNAc beta 1-->2)Man alpha 1-R[GlcNAc to Man] beta 1-->4N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase VI (GnT VI) activity was shown to be present in crude homogenates of Medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) ovaries using UDP-[14C]GlcNAc and synthetic GlcNAc beta 1-->6 (GlcNAc beta 1-->2)Man alpha 1-->6Glc beta 1-->octyl as substrates. Characterization of this activity showed a pH optimum at about pH 7.0 and an absolute requirement for divalent cations. The optimum concentration of Mn2+ was at about 25 mM. This finding is the first report on GnT VI activity in fish; the enzyme has previously been described only in avian tissues.
