POMT1 protein O-mannosyltransferase 1

Gene ID: 10585, updated on 10-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RT; LGMD2K; MDDGA1; MDDGB1; MDDGC1; LGMDR11

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an O-mannosyltransferase that requires interaction with the product of the POMT2 gene for enzymatic function. The encoded protein is found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene are a cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2K (LGMD2K). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
