N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2; Beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase involved in the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine. Catalyzes the initiation and elongation of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. Shows a marked preference for Gal(beta1-4)Glc(NAc)-based acceptors . Probably constitutes the main polylactosamine synthase. ; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.
