GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ALG8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC2840
Description
ALG8, alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez 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.
