Description

General description

This gene encodes mannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase, a glycosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. Alterations of the oligosaccharides on cell surface glycoproteins cause significant changes in the adhesive or migratory behavior of a cell. Increase in the encoded protein′s activity may correlate with the progression of invasive malignancies. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

MGAT5 (mannosyl (α-1,6-)-glycoprotein β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase) is involved in the biosynthesis of N-linked glycoproteins. It catalyzes the formation of β
1,6-branched N-glycans by N-acetyl-d-glucosamine transfer. MGAT5 plays a significant role in invasion and metastasis of various cancer, including glioma and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is also known to be associated with multiple sclerosis and liver fibrosis. Increased radiosensitivity of cancer cells is observed upon MGAT5 inhibition.

Physical form
