ALG2
Description
The ALG2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called ALG2. This enzyme is crucial for the process of N-glycosylation, where sugar molecules are attached to proteins. N-glycosylation is essential for the proper folding, function, and stability of many proteins, playing a critical role in various cellular processes. Mutations in the ALG2 gene can disrupt this process, leading to a range of health issues.
