Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide pathway for glycoprotein biosynthesis. This enzyme belongs to the glycosyltransferase family 4. This protein is an integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum. The congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ij is caused by mutation in the gene encoding this enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Rattus norvegicus Enables UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase activity. Involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process and dolichol-linked oligosaccharide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Ij and congenital myasthenic syndrome 13. Orthologous to human DPAGT1 (dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase 1); PARTICIPATES IN N-linked glycan biosynthetic pathway; INTERACTS WITH 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; amphetamine; bisphenol A.
