N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2/MGAT2 Products

The product of the MGAT2 gene is a Golgi enzyme catalyzing an essential step in the conversion of oligomannose to complexN-glycans. The enzyme has the typical glycosyltransferase domains: a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, ahydrophobic non-cleavable signal-anchor domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Mutations in this gene may lead tocarbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type II. The coding region of this gene is intronless. Transcriptvariants with a spliced 5' UTR may exist, but their biological validity has not been determined. (provided byRefSeq)
