ALG13 ALG13 UDP-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit

Gene ID: 79868, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CDG1S; DEE36; EIEE36; MDS031; TDRD13; CXorf45; GLT28D1; YGL047W

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a bipartite UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase. It heterodimerizes with asparagine-linked glycosylation 14 homolog to form a functional UDP-GlcNAc glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the second sugar addition of the highly conserved oligosaccharide precursor in endoplasmic reticulum N-linked glycosylation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
