Primary Identifier | MGI:2143424 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 215494 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable protein O-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in neuron migration and protein O-linked mannosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in brain and eye. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type A8 and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type C8. Orthologous to human POMGNT2 (protein O-linked mannose N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (beta 1,4-)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased birth body size and complete neonatal lethality associated with abnormal basal lamina formation and a neuronal migration defect due to a lack of laminin-binding glycans on alpha-dystroglycan.
