Alpha-1,3/1,6-mannosyltransferase ALG2 is an enzyme that is encoded by the ALG2 gene. [4] Mutations in the human gene are associated with congenital defects in glycosylation [5] [6] The protein encoded by the ALG2 gene belongs to two classes of enzymes: GDP-Man:Man1GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.132) and GDP-Man:Man2GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.257).
This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 1 family. The encoded protein acts as an alpha 1,3 mannosyltransferase, mannosylating Man(2)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate and Man(1)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate to form Man(3)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate. Defects in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ii). [6]
ALG2 has been shown to interact with ANXA7 [7] and ANXA11. [7]
