Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within UDP-N-acetylglucosamine catabolic process and in utero embryonic development. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including decidua; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; embryo endoderm; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human MGAT1 (alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).
