Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase activity and dolichyl pyrophosphate Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase activity. Involved in protein N-linked glycosylation via asparagine. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; midbrain; respiratory system; telencephalon; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Ih and polycystic liver disease. Orthologous to human ALG8 (ALG8 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase).
