Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be part of dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type I and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B15. Orthologous to human DPM3 (dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase subunit 3, regulatory).
WB Description
dpm-3 encodes a putative regulatory subunit of dolichol phosphate mannosyltransferase, orthologous to human DPM3 (OMIM:605951); in mass RNAi assays, DPM-3 is required for normal body size, fertility, and health.
