| ncRNA Symbol: | ALG8 | | Full Name: | ALG8, alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | CDG1H|PCLD3 | | Chromosome: | chr11 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 78100936 | End Site(bp): | 78139660 | | | 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.
