Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable peptide-O-fucosyltransferase activity. Involved in Notch signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development; nervous system development; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in brain; embryo; skeletal muscle tissue; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Dowling-Degos disease. Orthologous to human POFUT1 (protein O-fucosyltransferase 1).
