Gnptab Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within carbohydrate phosphorylation; establishment of localization in cell; and secretion of lysosomal enzymes. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Used to study mucolipidosis II alpha/beta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucolipidosis II alpha/beta and mucolipidosis III alpha/beta. Orthologous to human GNPTAB (N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunits alpha and beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Gnptab often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • Putative GlcNAc-1 phosphotransferase regulatory domain
  • DMAP1-binding Domain
  • LNR domain
