B3glct Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; protein O-linked fucosylation; and protein secretion. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Peters plus syndrome. Orthologous to human B3GLCT (beta 3-glucosyltransferase).

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 B3glct often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
