Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in cytoskeleton organization; nervous system development; and protein localization to paranode region of axon. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human UGT8 (UDP glycosyltransferase 8).
