MOGS mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase

Gene ID: 7841, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DER7; GCS1; CDG2B; CWH41

Summary

This gene encodes the first enzyme in the N-linked oligosaccharide processing pathway. The enzyme cleaves the distal alpha-1,2-linked glucose residue from the Glc(3)-Man(9)-GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharide precursor. This protein is located in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene are a cause of type IIb congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDGIIb). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
