DPAGT1 dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase 1

Gene ID: 1798, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GPT; ALG7; DGPT; G1PT; UAGT; UGAT; CDG1J; CMS13; DPAGT; CDG-Ij; CMSTA2; DPAGT2; D11S366

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide pathway for glycoprotein biosynthesis. This enzyme belongs to the glycosyltransferase family 4. This protein is an integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum. The congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ij is caused by mutation in the gene encoding this enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
