Predicted to enable 2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase activity and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Involved in cytoskeleton organization; nervous system development; and protein localization to paranode region of axon. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human UGT8 (UDP glycosyltransferase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
