What's a GeneRIF?

B4GAT1 is involved in the initiation of the LARGE-dependent repeating disaccharide that is necessary for extracellular matrix protein binding to O-mannosylated alpha-dystroglycan.
Title: B4GAT1 is the priming enzyme for the LARGE-dependent functional glycosylation of α-dystroglycan.
report describes the first truncating mutation in B3GNT1 and confirms that this gene, which plays a role in alphaDG glycosylation, is a bona fide disease gene in Walker-Warburg syndrome
Title: A truncating mutation in B3GNT1 causes severe Walker-Warburg syndrome.
These functional studies identify an important role of B3GNT1 in the synthesis of the uncharacterized laminin-binding glycan of alpha-dystroglycan and implicate B3GNT1 as a novel causative gene for Walker-Warburg syndrome.
Title: Missense mutations in β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (B3GNT1) cause Walker-Warburg syndrome.
These results identify a previously undescribed role of carbohydrate-dependent cell-basement membrane interaction in tumor suppression and its control by beta3GnT1 and LARGE.
Title: Tumor suppressor function of laminin-binding alpha-dystroglycan requires a distinct beta3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase.
These results demonstrate that B3GNT1 and B4GALT1 physically associate in vitro and in cultured cells, providing insight into possible mechanisms for regulation of polyLacNAc production.
Title: Association of beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 and beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1, trans-Golgi enzymes involved in coupled poly-N-acetyllactosamine synthesis.

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.
