Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables dystroglycan binding activity; laminin binding activity; and phosphotransferase activity, for other substituted phosphate groups. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including monocarboxylic acid metabolic process; nervous system development; and skeletal muscle organ development. Located in Golgi membrane; extracellular space; and sarcolemma. Is active in Golgi apparatus and skeletal muscle myofibril. Is expressed in brain. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I; muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B1; and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B5. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human FKRP (fukutin related protein).
