Anti-MGAT5B

The MGAT5B gene encodes a beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that functions in the synthesis of complex cell surface N-glycans. Protein function: Glycosyltransferase that acts on alpha-linked mannose of N- glycans and O-mannosyl glycans. Catalyzes the transfer of N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the beta 1-6 linkage of the mannose residue of GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha on both the alpha1,3- and alpha1,6- linked mannose arms in the core structure of N-glycan. Also acts on the GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha1-Ser/Thr moiety, forming a 2,6-branched structure in brain O-mannosyl glycan. Plays an active role in modulating integrin and laminin-dependent adhesion and migration of neuronal cells via its activity in the O-mannosyl glycan pathway. [The UniProt Consortium]
