    basic FUNCTION
  • recognizing glycoproteins with minor folding defects
  • reglucosylating single N-glycans near the misfolded part of the protein, thus providing quality control for protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum
  • having a glucosyltransferase activity, whose specificity was shown to be quite similar to UGGT1, in terms of both glycan specificity and preferential recognition of proteins having non-native conformations
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, post translation, targeting
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text
  • protein glycosylation
  • PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component UGGT1 and UGGT2 are central component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glycoprotein-folding quality control system, which prevents the exit of partially folded species
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule cofactor,
  • Ca2+
  • Mn2+
  • protein
  • hormonal regulation of UGGT1 and UGGT2 expression and activity, which might influence the glycoprotein quality control mechanism
  • cell & other
