DESCRIPTION

Also known as GLFT2_MYCTU, glfT2, glfT. Involved in the galactan polymerization of the arabinogalactan (AG) region of the mycolylarabinogalactan-peptidoglycan (mAGP) complex, an essential component of the mycobacteria cell wall. Thus, successively transfers approximately 28 galactofuranosyl (Galf) residues from UDP-galactofuranose (UDP-Galf) onto the galactofuranosyl-galactofuranosyl-rhamnosyl-GlcNAc-diphospho-decaprenol (Galf-Galf-Rha-GlcNAc-PP-C50) acceptor produced by GlfT1, with alternating 1->5 and 1->6 links, forming a galactan domain with approximately 30 galactofuranosyl residues. Homotetramer.
