Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable dolichyl-phosphate beta-D-mannosyltransferase activity and enzyme activator activity. Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process; dolichol metabolic process; and regulation of protein stability. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase complex and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Iu. Orthologous to human DPM2 (dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase subunit 2, regulatory).
