Csgalnact1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glucuronosyl-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan metabolic process; extracellular matrix organization; and skeletal system development. Is active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cartilage; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CSGALNACT1 (chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1). [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 Csgalnact1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
