Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables UDP-galactose:beta-N-acetylglucosamine beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human B3GALNT1 (beta-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 (Globoside blood group)). PHENOTYPE: A homozygous null mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for a second allele appear normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
