Summary
Enables UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide and neurogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human B4GALT6 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6).

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.
