Recombinant Human Alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (MGAT2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q10469

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MGAT2

Target Full Name

Alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase

Target Function

Plays an essential role in protein N-glycosylation. Catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) onto the free terminal mannose moiety in the core structure of the nascent N-linked glycan chain, giving rise to the second branch in complex glycans.

Target Involvement

Congenital disorder of glycosylation 2A (CDG2A)

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Glycosyltransferase 16 (GT16) protein family

Target Synonyms

MGAT2Alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.143; Beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II; GlcNAc-T II; GNT-II; Mannoside acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2; N-glycosyl-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II

Target Background

The 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.
