Gene: ALG6

Alternate names for this Gene: CDG1C

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the first glucose residue to the growing lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor of N-linked glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital disorders of glycosylation type Ic.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p31.3

Description of this Gene: ALG6 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
