B3galt4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide beta-(1,3)-galactosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human B3GALT4 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 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 B3galt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
