1. Dilute 1 mM Phosphate Standard provided by the Glycosyltransferase Kit by adding 40 µL of the 1 mM Phosphate Standard to 360 µL of Assay Buffer for a 100 µM stock. This is the first point of the standard curve.
2. Complete the standard curve by performing six one-half serial dilutions of the 100 µM Phosphate stock using Assay Buffer. The standard curve has a range of 0.078 to 5 nmol per well.
3. Prepare reaction mixture containing 2 mM UDP-GalNAc, 1 mM EA2 peptide, and 8 µg/mL Coupling Phosphatase 1 in Assay Buffer.
4. Dilute rhGALNT14 to 40 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
5. Load 50 µL of each dilution of the standard curve into a plate. Include a curve blank containing 50 μL of Assay Buffer.
6. Load 25 µL of 40 µg/mL rhGALNT14 into empty wells of the same plate as the curve. Include a Control containing 25 μL of Assay Buffer.
7. Add 25 µL of the reaction mixture to all wells, excluding the standard curve.
8. Seal plate and incubate at 37 °C for 20 minutes.
9. Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent A to all wells. Mix briefly.
10. Add 100 µL of deionized water to all wells. Mix briefly.
11. Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent B to all wells. Mix and incubate sealed plate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
12. Read plate at 620 nm (absorbance) in endpoint mode.
13. Calculate specific activity:

     *Derived from the phosphate standard curve using linear or 4-parameter fitting and adjusted for Control.
