Primary Identifier | MGI:1889574 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 58193 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity; glycosaminoglycan binding activity; and manganese ion binding activity. Involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human EXTL2 (exostosin like glycosyltransferase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased production of heparin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, liver and brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
