  • integral membrane protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may have a dolichol kinase activity
  • catalyzes the CTP-dependent phosphorylation of dolichol in the biosynthesis de novo and possibly the recycling of dolichyl monophosphate
  • acting as a phosphatidase cytidylyltransferase
  • responsible for the final step of the biosynthesis of dolichol phosphate, involved in several glycosylation reactions, such as N-glycosylation, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, and C- and O-mannosylation
