Pomgnt2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in neuron migration and protein O-linked mannosylation. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in brain and eye. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type A8 and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type C8. Orthologous to human POMGNT2 (protein O-linked mannose N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (beta 1,4-)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pomgnt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
