Primary Identifier | MGI:2139447 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 271786 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine system; heart; liver; lung; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GALNT13 (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13). PHENOTYPE: Galnt13 is expressed exclusively in neuronal cells. Conditional animals can be used with cre-expressing strains to produce total or tissue-specific deletion of this locus.
