    Summary
    Predicted to enable N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axon guidance; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and sensory perception of smell. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and nose. Orthologous to human B3GNT2 (UDP-GlcNAc:betaGal beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
