Co-localization with the cis-Golgi marker GM130/GOLGA2 (RRID:AB_398141) for a refined protein localization within the Golgi apparatus in U-2 OS cells. MGAT2 localizes to the Golgi apparatus, and is only detected in the cis-Golgi compartment.
The product of this gene 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. The coding region of this gene is intronless. Transcript variants with a spliced 5' UTR may exist, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
