glycosyltransferase family protein 47;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a member of the CAZy Glycosyltransferase Family 64 that is involved in glycosylinositolphosphorylceramide and sphingolipid glycosylation. In mutants, seed germination was less sensitive to salt stress than in wild-type plants. [The protein was expected to be Golgi-localized based on function as well as the Golgi localization of its homolog GMT1. However, GFP-fusion proteins localized both to the ER and Golgi, and especially to ER when co-expressed with Golgi markers. Therefore, localization cannot confidently be defined.

At5g04500 (GINT1) is responsible for the glycosylation of a subgroup of glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides found in seeds and pollen that contain acetylglucosamine and glucosamine.
