Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase (GTP) activity. Predicted to be involved in GDP-mannose biosynthetic process and protein glycosylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2T; congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy A14; muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy; and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B14. Orthologous to human GMPPB (GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase B).
