Primary Identifier | IPR029489 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | OGT/SEC/SPY_C |
description | This entry represents the C-terminal domain of the O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT, also known as UDP-N-acetylglucosamine--peptide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase), which catalyses the transfer of a single GlcNAc to the Ser or Thr of nucleocytoplasmic proteins []. OGTs have two known domains: the N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat domain and the C-terminal glycosyltransferase domain []. Deletions of the C-terminal domain result in a complete loss of the enzyme activity []. In animals, OGT is an essential protein that modifies transcription factors, nuclear pore proteins, kinases, and many other proteins. Abnormalities in OGT activities have been associated with type 2 diabetes []. |
