ALG6: Proteins and Enzymes

ALG6, or Asparagine-Linked Glycosylation 6 Alpha-1 3-Glucosyltransferase Homolog, consists of a 507 amino acid isoform that is 58 kDa, and is involved in the addition of the first glucose residue and the transfer of glucose during N-linked glycosylation. Current research is being conducted on the relation of ALG6 and several disorders and diseases including protein-losing enteropathy, pseudotumor cerebri, and hypotonia. The protein interacts with ALG12, ALG3, ALG5, ALG8, and AP3D1 in several protein metabolism, biosynthesis, and modification pathways.
