| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in placenta, ovary and peripheral blood leukocyte, whereas it is weakly expressed in liver, thymus, and testis. Expressed in bone marrow erythroid cells. |
| Function | Has lost the ability to synthesize Forssman glycolipid antigen (FORS1/FG). Might have acquired an alternative function in glycosphingolipid metabolism, but it remains to be established. It appears to have drifted more slowly than confirmed pseudogenes in the glycosyltransferase 6 family, suggesting that it has remained under evolutionary pressure. |
