FAMILY

glycosyltransferase 16 (GT16) protein family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as MGAT2_HUMAN, MGAT2. Plays an essential role in protein N-glycosylation. Catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) onto the free terminal mannose moiety in the core structure of the nascent N-linked glycan chain, giving rise to the second branch in complex glycans. Homodimer.
