Gene Symbol:

MGAT5 Homo sapiens

Full name:

mannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase

Synonyms:

GNT-V, GNT-VA, alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A, N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase V, alpha-mannoside beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, glcNAc-T V, mannoside acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5

Genomic Location:

Chr 2: 134728300-134922938

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glycosyltransferase family. It catalyzes the addition of beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosamine to the alpha-linked mannose of biantennary N-linked oligosaccharides present on the newly synthesized glycoproteins. It is one of the most important enzymes involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of glycoprot...

View Full Description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glycosyltransferase family. It catalyzes the addition of beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosamine to the alpha-linked mannose of biantennary N-linked oligosaccharides present on the newly synthesized glycoproteins. It is one of the most important enzymes involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of glycoprotein oligosaccharides. Alterations of the oligosaccharides on cell surface glycoproteins cause significant changes in the adhesive or migratory behavior of a cell. Increase in the activity of this enzyme has been correlated with the progression of invasive malignancies.
