description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin DNA binding activity and protein O-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including circadian regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within protein O-linked glycosylation. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital disorder of glycosylation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 106. Orthologous to human OGT (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase). PHENOTYPE: Conditional deletion of this gene results in cell death in hemizygous and homozygous cells. Following germline conditional deletion only females inheriting the deletion paternally survive.
