MGAT2, 30-447aa Human, His tag, E.coli

MGAT2 is a golgi enzyme catalyzing an essential step in the conversion of oligomannose to complex N-glycans. The enzyme has the typical glycosyltransferase domains: a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a hydrophobic non-cleavable signal-anchor domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Mutations in this gene may lead to carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type II. Transcript variants with a spliced 5' UTR may exist, but their biological validity has not been determined. Recombinant human MGAT2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
