Primary Identifier | MGI:1916863 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 80294 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables fucosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fucosylation; mesoderm formation; and regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human POFUT2 (protein O-fucosyltransferase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in lethality before weaning. [provided by MGI curators] |
