Primary Identifier | MGI:2137302 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 108105 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity and lactosylceramide 1,3-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in central nervous system development and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human B3GNT5 (UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice may show variable types of lethality or no lethality depending on the allele. Mice homozygous for 3 alleles show B cell abnormalities. Mice homozygous or heterozygous for 2 allele show reduced fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
