description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase activity and toxic substance binding activity. Acts upstream of or within globoside biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; immune system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human A4GALT (alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase (P1PK blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display reduced sensitivity to verotoxin but do not display any gross morphological abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
