Summary
Enables galactosylceramide sulfotransferase activity. Involved in galactosylceramide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within galactosylceramide biosynthetic process; myelination; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in brain; future spinal cord; heart ventricle; and spinal cord cervical region. Orthologous to human GAL3ST1 (galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 1).

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.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1, also known as form A) represents the longest transcript. Variants 1, 2 and 3 encode the same protein. An in-frame AUG is located 29 codons upstream of the annotated translation start site but is not being annotated as a start site since it would be inhibited by an overlapping uORF with a strong Kozak sequence.
