Has both beta-1,3-glucuronic acid and beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase activity. Transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer (By similarity). Required together with sqv-5 for the biosynthesis of chondroitin (PubMed:15485872). Chondroitin is involved in organogenesis of the vulva, maturation of the gonad, and neural development (PubMed:15485872, PubMed:16982046). May have a specific role in unc-6/netrin-mediated dorsal guidance of gonadal distal tip cells (PubMed:16982046). Glycosyltransferase activity is weak (PubMed:15485872). 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-[beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = 3-O-([beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n+1)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-(beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate = 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP 3-O-([beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate = 3-O-(beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-[beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)](n)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Xyl)-L-seryl-[protein] + H(+) + UDP Interacts with sqv-5. Expressed in seam cells, the vulval epithelium and in oocytes (at protein level). Expressed in distal tip cells of the growing gonad arms from L3 to the young adult stage (at protein level). Viable but sterile, with reversion of cytokinesis during early embryogenesis. Belongs to the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family.
