Ubiquitously expressed, but at very low levels in fetal and adult brain.
[Isoform Long]: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell surface. Cell projection, filopodium. Found in trans cisternae of Golgi but is mainly localized at the plasma membrane (PubMed:1714903). B4GALT1 cell surface expression is regulated by UBE2Q1 (By similarity).; [Isoform Short]: Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Found in trans cisternae of Golgi.; [Processed beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1]: Secreted. Soluble form found in body fluids.
