Lfng Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in lymphocyte differentiation; negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway involved in somitogenesis; and somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including compartment pattern specification; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway; and regulation of somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylocostal dysostosis 3. Orthologous to human LFNG (LFNG O-fucosylpeptide 3-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Lfng often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
