Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in lymphocyte differentiation; negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway involved in somitogenesis; and somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including compartment pattern specification; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway; and regulation of somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylocostal dysostosis 3. Orthologous to human LFNG (LFNG O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).
