Gene information for MGAT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4247
Official gene symbolMGAT2
Full namemannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Aliases,CDG2A,CDGS2,GLCNACTII,GNT-II,GNT2,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene is a Golgi enzyme catalyzing an essential step in the conversion of oligomannose to complex N-glycans. The enzyme has the typical glycosyltransferase domains: a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a hydrophobic non-cleavable signal-anchor domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Mutations in this gene may lead to carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type II. The coding region of this gene is intronless. Transcript variants with a spliced 5' UTR may exist, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
