Xylt1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein xylosyltransferase activity. Involved in negative regulation of axon regeneration; proteoglycan biosynthetic process; and response to interleukin-1. Predicted to be located in Golgi cis cisterna; Golgi membrane; and extracellular space. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Biomarker of kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Desbuquois dysplasia; pseudoxanthoma elasticum; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human XYLT1 (xylosyltransferase 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 Xylt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
