Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables xylosylprotein 4-beta-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome spondylodysplastic type 1. Orthologous to human B4GALT7 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 7).
