Ugt8a - UDP galactosyltransferase 8A Gene

Also Known as Cgt; Ugt8; mCerGT

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 22239

Summary

Predicted to enable 2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in Cytoskeleton organization; nervous system development; and protein localization to paranode region of axon. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human UGT8 (UDP Glycosyltransferase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
