Primary Identifier | MGI:894701 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 107895 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein N-linked glycosylation. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human MGAT5 (alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for deficiencies in this gene have immune system abnormalities and reduced cancer growth and metastasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
