Gene:
mannosyl (beta-1,4-)-glycoprotein beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Gene ID:
202077
Symbol:
MGAT3
Species:
1000
Description:
There are believed to be over 100 different glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III transfers a GlcNAc residue to the beta-linked mannose of the trimannosyl core of N-linked oligosaccharides and produces a bisecting GlcNAc. Expression of this gene may be controlled by a multiple-promoter system.
