Function |
Transferase 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:25279699}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25279699}; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Secreted. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250}. Rough endoplasmic reticulum. Note=According to some studies the N- terminal hydrophobic domain is cleaved after translocation to the Golgi apparatus and the protein is secreted. Localization at the cell membrane may require the presence of dystroglycan. At the Golgi apparatus localizes to the middle-to-trans-cisternae, as assessed by MG160 colocalization. Detected in rough endoplasmic reticulum in myocytes. In general, mutants associated with severe clinical phenotypes are retained within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Tissue Specificity |
Expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle, placenta, and heart and relatively weakly in brain, lung, liver kidney and pancreas.
