Pomt1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mannosyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of dolichyl-phosphate-mannose-protein mannosyltransferase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy; cleft lip; lissencephaly; and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human POMT1 (protein O-mannosyltransferase 1).

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 rat Pomt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
