Mgat3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable beta-1,4-mannosylglycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; protein localization; and regulation of cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of lysosomal protein catabolic process; positive regulation of protein localization to early endosome; and protein N-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and lysosome. Orthologous to human MGAT3 (beta-1,4-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).

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 Mgat3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
