Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables procollagen glucosyltransferase activity and procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Involved in peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; extracellular matrix; and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; ear; future brain; incisor; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BCARD syndrome. Orthologous to human PLOD3 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3).
