Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable D-ribitol-5-phosphate cytidylyltransferase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance and protein glycosylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in brain. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2U. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2U and congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy A7. Orthologous to human CRPPA (CDP-L-ribitol pyrophosphorylase A).
