Description: The product of this gene belongs to the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family. This enzyme adds the second glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation. Defects in this gene are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ih). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
