|---|---|
| Function | Alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the third mannose, via an alpha-1,2 bond, from a dolichol-phosphate- mannose (Dol-P-Man) to an alpha-D-Man-(1->6)-2-PEtn-alpha-D-Man-(1->4)- alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-2-acyl- inositol intermediate to generate an alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man- (1->6)-2-PEtn-alpha-D-Man-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2-acyl- sn-glycero-3-phospho)-2-acyl-inositol (also termed H6) and participates in the nineth step of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis (PubMed:8861954). May also add the third mannose to an alpha-D-Man-(1->6)-alpha-D-Man-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2- acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-2-acyl-inositol (also termed H3) intermediate generating an alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)-alpha- D-Man-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)- 2-acyl-inositol (also termed H4) (Probable). |
| Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene is thought to encode a member of a family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) dependent mannosyltransferases.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
