| Function |
O-linked mannose beta-1,4-N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase that tranfers UDP-N-acetyl-D- glucosamine to the 4-position of the mannose to generate N-acetyl- D-glucosamine-beta-1,4-O-D-mannosylprotein. Involved in the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated O-mannosyl trisaccharide (N- acetylgalactosamine-beta-3-N-acetylglucosamine-beta-4-(phosphate- 6-)mannose), a carbohydrate structure present in alpha- dystroglycan (DAG1), which is required for binding laminin G-like domain-containing extracellular proteins with high affinity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23929950}.

| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23929950}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23929950}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the brain, muscle, heart, and kidney in both fetus and adult. In the brain, highest expression in the cortex and cerebellum. Highly expressed in the pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22958903}.
