| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 16795 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables glucuronosyltransferase activity and xylosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell cellular homeostasis; protein O-linked mannosylation; and skeletal muscle tissue regeneration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; retina development in camera-type eye; and striated muscle cell differentiation. Located in Golgi membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in Golgi apparatus; neuromuscular junction; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Used to study facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B1; and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type A6 and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B6. Orthologous to human LARGE1 (LARGE xylosyl- and glucuronyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes exhibit a progressive myopathy, abnormal posture, thoracic kyphosis, calcium deposits in muscle, loss of Schwann cells and myelin, eye and CNS defects, deafness, reduced growth, and death around 4 months.
