Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-beta-galactosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within angiogenesis; intestinal epithelial cell development; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human C1GALT1 (core 1 synthase, glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-beta-galactosyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a null allele show impaired angiogenesis, chaotic microvascular networks in brain, and fatal hemorrhage by E14. Eggs homozygous for another null allele show a slightly thinner zona pellucida. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele develop thrombocytopenia and renal disease. [provided by MGI curators] |
