Primary Identifier | MGI:1342058 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 14422 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including UDP-N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; protein import; and skeletal muscle fiber differentiation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in bladder fundus; hindgut; and midgut. Orthologous to human B4GALNT2 (beta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferase 2 (SID blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show increased startle reflex, increased systemic arterial diastolic blood pressure, abnormal B cell number, increased neutrophil cell number, and increased circulating alkaline phosphatase level.
