UDP-Gal:betaGlcNAc beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase, polypeptide 5 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables N-acetyllactosamine synthase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ganglioside biosynthetic process via lactosylceramide; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within poly-N-acetyllactosamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi cisterna membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human B4GALT5 (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 5).
