Gene information for MGAT5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4249
Official gene symbolMGAT5
Full namemannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase
Aliases,GNT-V,GNT-VA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes mannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase, a glycosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. Alterations of the oligosaccharides on cell surface glycoproteins cause significant changes in the adhesive or migratory behavior of a cell. Increase in the encoded protein's activity may correlate with the progression of invasive malignancies. [provided by RefSeq]
