| ncRNA Symbol: | MGAT1 | | Full Name: | mannosyl (alpha-1,3-)-glycoprotein beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | GLCNAC-TI|GLCT1|GLYT1|GNT-1|GNT-I|GnTI|MGAT | | Chromosome: | chr5 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 180784782 | End Site(bp): | 180815652 | | | Gene Summary: | There are believed to be over 100 different glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha-3-D-mannoside beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I is a medial-Golgi enzyme essential for the synthesis of hybrid and complex N-glycans. The protein, encoded by a single exon, shows typical features of a type II transmembrane protein. The protein is believed to be essential for normal embryogenesis. Several variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
