Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein N-linked glycosylation via asparagine. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; integumental system; sensory organ; and telencephalon. Used to study congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIa. Orthologous to human MGAT2 (alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase).
