ALG9
Description
The ALG9 (ALG9 alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
ALG9, or Alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase ALG9, is an enzyme encoded by the ALG9 gene in humans. It plays a crucial role in the process of protein glycosylation, specifically the addition of sugar molecules to proteins.
ALG9 catalyzes the transfer of mannose from Dol-P-Man to lipid-linked oligosaccharides.
ALG9 is also known as CDG1L, DIBD1, GIKANIS, LOH11CR1J.
Associated Diseases
- ALG9-CDG

- Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type Il
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
