Summary: Predicted to enable manganese ion binding activity and polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein O-linked glycosylation via serine; protein O-linked glycosylation via threonine; and protein maturation. Predicted to be located in Golgi stack and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; floor plate; lens; lung mesenchyme; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type II. Orthologous to human GALNT2 (polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
