Summary
This gene encodes a member of the galactosyltransferase family of intracellular, membrane-bound enzymes that are involved in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetyllactosamine in an alpha(1,3) linkage to form galactose alpha(1,3)-galactose. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop cortical cataracts. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

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.
