Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable glucuronosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance and protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and thymus. Used to study muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type A13. Orthologous to human B4GAT1 (beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase 1).
