ALG10 ALG10 alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase

Gene ID: 84920, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DIE2; KCR1; ALG10A

Summary

This gene encodes a membrane-associated protein that adds the third glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation. That is, it transfers the terminal glucose from dolichyl phosphate glucose (Dol-P-Glc) onto the lipid-linked oligosaccharide Glc2Man9GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol. The rat protein homolog was shown to specifically modulate the gating function of the rat neuronal ether-a-go-go (EAG) potassium ion channel. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
