Gene information for ALG8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79053
Official gene symbolALG8
Full nameasparagine-linked glycosylation 8, alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,CDG1H,MGC2840,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the second glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation of proteins. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ih). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
