Ogt Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; peptide binding activity; and protein O-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of biosynthetic process; regulation of protein localization; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in euchromatin; neuronal cell body; and zymogen granule. Part of protein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase complex. Is active in several cellular components, including cerebellar granule cell to Purkinje cell synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and presynaptic cytosol. Biomarker of congestive heart failure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 106. Orthologous to human OGT (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase).
