Name | MGAT4B (HGNC:7048) |
---|---|
Function | Glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans through a beta1-4 linkage and participates in the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains (PubMed:17006639, PubMed:10372966). Prefers complex-type N-glycans over hybrid-types (PubMed:17006639). Has lower affinities for donors or acceptors than MGAT4A, suggesting that, under physiological conditions, it is not the main contributor in N-glycan biosynthesis (PubMed:17006639). |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D4R2}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D4R2}. Note=A processed soluble form also exists. |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Strongly overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. |

Background
Glycosyltransferase that participates in the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the core mannose residues of N- linked glycans. Catalyzes the formation of the GlcNAcbeta1-4 branch on the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans. Essential for the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains. Has lower affinities for donors or acceptors than MGAT4A, suggesting that, under physiological conditions, it is not the main contributor in N- glycan biosynthesis.
