Summary
B4GAT1 (beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase 1, HGNC:15685) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.2, encoding Beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase 1 (O43505). Beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase involved in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1).
This gene encodes a member of the beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. This enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein. It is essential for the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine, a determinant for the blood group i antigen.

Function. Beta-1,4-glucuronyltransferase involved in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1). Transfers a glucuronic acid (GlcA) residue onto a xylose (Xyl) acceptor to produce the glucuronyl-beta-1,4-xylose-beta disaccharide primer, which is further elongated by LARGE1, during synthesis of phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan. Phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan is a carbohydrate structure present in alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1), which is required for binding laminin G-like domain-containing extracellular proteins with high affinity. Required for axon guidance; via its function in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1).
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with LARGE1 and LARGE2.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Tissue specificity. In the adult, highly expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and kidney and to a lesser extent in placenta, pancreas, spleen, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. Very weak expression in lung, liver, thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. In fetal highly expressed in brain and kidney and to a lesser extent in lung and liver.
Disease relevance. Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy congenital with brain and eye anomalies A13 (MDDGA13) [MIM:615287] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy associated with cobblestone lissencephaly and other brain anomalies, eye malformations, profound intellectual disability, and death usually in the first years of life. Included diseases are the more severe Walker-Warburg syndrome and the slightly less severe muscle-eye-brain disease. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 49 family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 67 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
