Chitobiosyldiphosphodolichol beta-mannosyltransferase is an enzyme that is encoded by ALG15 whose structure and function has been conserved from lower to higher organisms.67

Function

The biosynthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides is highly conserved among eukaryotes and is catalyzed by 14 glycosyltransferases in an ordered stepwise manner. The Alg1 mannosyltransferase I (MT I) catalyzes the first mannosylation step in this process.6 Clinically, the deficiency of ALG1 in humans results in ALG1-CDG, a congenital disorder of glycosylation.8
