(1a) UDP-α-D-galactofuranose + α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans-octacis-decaprenol = UDP + β-D-galactofuranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans-octacis-decaprenol
(1b) UDP-α-D-galactofuranose + β-D-galactofuranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans-octacis-decaprenol = UDP + β-D-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)-β-D-galactofuranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans-octacis-decaprenol

Other name(s): arabinogalactan galactofuranosyl transferase 1; GlfT1
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-galactofuranose:α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-trans,octacis-decaprenol 4-β/4-β-galactofuranosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: Isolated from the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. smegmatis, the enzyme has dual β-(1→4) and β-(1→5) transferase action. Involved in the formation of the cell wall in mycobacteria.
