MAGT1 magnesium transporter 1

Gene ID: 84061, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IAP; XMEN; MRX95; OST3B; CDG1CC; PRO0756; SLC58A1; bA217H1.1

Summary

This gene encodes a ubiquitously expressed magnesium cation transporter protein that localizes to the cell membrane. This protein also associates with N-oligosaccharyl transferase and therefore may have a role in N-glycosylation. Mutations in this gene cause a form of X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). This gene may have multiple in-frame translation initiation sites, one of which would encode a shorter protein with an N-terminus containing a signal peptide at amino acids 1-29.
