Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; nervous system; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer. Orthologous to human GALNT12 (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12).
