Summary: Enables N-acetyllactosamine synthase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within poly-N-acetyllactosamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human B4GALT5 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 5).

The results indicate that the growth is delayed by one to one and half day in B4galt5-/- embryos when compared to B4galt5+/- embryos, which results in early death of the embryos by E10.5, probably due to hematopoietic and/or placental defects.

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.
