cd03816: GT1_ALG1_like (this model, PSSM-Id:99986 is obsolete and has been replaced by 340843)
This family is most closely related to the GT1 family of glycosyltransferases. The yeast gene ALG1 has been shown to function as a mannosyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of dolichol pyrophosphate (Dol-PP)-GlcNAc2Man from GDP-Man and Dol-PP-Glc-NAc2, and participates in the formation of the lipid-linked precursor oligosaccharide for N-glycosylation. In humans ALG1 has been associated with the congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) designated as subtype CDG-Ik.
