UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Catalyses the second step of eukaryotic N-linked glycosylation in endoplasmic reticulum, transferring an N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to GlcNAc-PP-Dolichol. Alg14 is a membrane protein that recruits the cytosolic Alg13 protein to the ER, Alg13 contains the catalytic domain of the UDP-GlcNAc transferase, but cytosolic Alg13 is not active unless bound to Alg14 at the ER membrane suggesting the formation of the Alg13/14 complex is crucial for UDP-GlcNAc transferase activity.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
