Figure 1 Initiation of O-glycan biosynthesis.O-Glycosylation of protein is initiated by the addition of GalNAc to serine or threonine residues through the activity of UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (pp-GalNAc-Ts), which is followed by β-galactosylation through core 1 synthase 1, also called glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-β-galactosyltransferase 1, core 1 β3-Gal-T, or T-synthase (C1GALT1).
