ALG6

Dolichyl pyrophosphate Man9GlcNAc2 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALG6 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the ALG6/ALG8 is_associated_with::glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the first is_associated_with::glucose residue to the growing lipid-linked is_associated_with::oligosaccharide precursor of N-linked is_associated_with::glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with is_associated_with::congenital disorders of glycosylation type Ic.
