Full name | | asparagine-linked glycosylation 8, alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase homolog (S. cerevisiae) |
Aliases | | ,CDG1H,MGC2840, |
Gene summary | | This 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.
