| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables (N-acetylneuraminyl)-galactosylglucosylceramide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; lipid storage; and motor behavior. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 26. Orthologous to human B4GALNT1 (beta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele lack all complex gangliosides but show normal brain histology and gross behavior with only subtle defects in neural conduction velocities. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit male infertility due to degeneration of the seminiferous tubules. [provided by MGI curators] |
