Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in central nervous system development and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human B3GNT5 (UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice may show variable types of lethality or no lethality depending on the allele. Mice homozygous for 3 alleles show B cell abnormalities. Mice homozygous or heterozygous for 2 allele show reduced fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
