| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 56336 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables N-acetyllactosamine synthase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within poly-N-acetyllactosamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human B4GALT5 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in lethality before weaning. Heterozygous mutant mice exhibit increased anxiety-like response. [provided by MGI curators] |
