    Summary
    Predicted to enable galactosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within cerebellar Purkinje cell layer development; learning or memory; and locomotory behavior. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in early conceptus; eye; gonad; and nervous system. Orthologous to human B4GALT2 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.
