Anti-MGAT2 Antibody, clone 4A5.2

Alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.143; UniProt Q10469; also known as Beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II, GlcNAc-T II, GNT-II, Mannoside acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2, MGAT2, N-glycosyl-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase II) is encoded by the MGAT2 (also known as CDG2A) gene (Gene ID 4247) in human. MGAT2 is a Golgi enzyme that catalyzes an essential step in the conversion of oligo-mannose to complex N-glycans. It possesses the typical glycosyltransferase domains: a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a hydrophobic non-cleavable signal-anchor domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. It is highly expressed in small intestine in mice and humans. Mutations in MGTA2 gene are known to cause congenital disorders of glycosylation 2A, which is a multi-system disorder caused by defective glycoprotein biosynthesis. It leads to under-glycosylated levels of serum glycoproteins that result in defects in neuronal development, coagulation disorders, hypotonia, and immunodeficiency.
