ALG14
(redirected from OTTHUMP00000012469)ALG14
A gene on chromosome 1p21.3 that encodes a subunit of a bipartite UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase, which heterodimerises with asparagine-linked glycosylation 13 homolog to form a functional UDP-GlcNAc glycosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the second sugar addition of the conserved oligosaccharide precursor in endoplasmic reticulum N-linked glycosylation; with ALG13, this transferase catalyses asparagine (N)-glycosylation, an essential modification that regulates protein folding and stability.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.
