Transfers mannosyl residues to the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine residues. Coexpression of both POMT1 and POMT2 is necessary for enzyme activity, expression of either POMT1 or POMT2 alone is insufficient (PubMed:12369018, PubMed:14699049, PubMed:28512129). Essentially dedicated to O-mannosylation of alpha- DAG1 and few other proteins but not of cadherins and protocaherins (PubMed:28512129). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12369018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14699049, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28512129}. This is the function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000130714 (POMT1, protein O-mannosyltransferase 1).
