MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. This enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein. It prefers the substrate of lacto-N-neotetraose, and is involved in the biosynthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a gene trap allele show severe axon guidance errors and specific loss of olfactory sensory neurons and glomeruli. Homozygotes for another gene trap allele show hyperactive lymphocytes and macrophages. Homozygotes for a reporter allele display behavioral despair and reduced anxiety. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

Three transcripts of the B3gnt2 gene are displayed on Ensembl.

Protein Function and Prediction

B3gnt2 encodes the 397 amino acid ubiquitously expressed β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (β3GnT2). β3GnT2 is a member of the β3GnTs that function in the initiation and extension of lactosamine chains on glycoproteins and glycolipids (1;2).  β3GnT2 is a single-pass type 2 transmembrane protein localized to the Golgi (3). Using a knockout mouse model, studies determined that β3GnT2 is required for sensory axon connection formation and normal glomerular formation during olfactory development (1).  In addition, β3GnT2 regulates the expression of poly-N-acetyllactosamine (PLN) glycans on adenylyl cyclase 3 (AC3); these glycans are required for cAMP synthesis/signaling in olfactory neurons (4).
