The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 604565

Alg5, s. cerevisiae, homolog of; alg5
Dolichyl phosphate glucosyltransferase

DESCRIPTION

The ALG5 gene encodes dolichyl phosphate glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.117).

CLONING

By searching EST databases and using low-stringency PCR amplification to screen a human T-lymphocyte cDNA library, Imbach et al. (1999) obtained a complete cDNA encoding the ortholog of S. cerevisiae ALG5. The human ALG5 protein contains 242 amino acids and is 58% similar to yeast ALG5. Northern blot analysis revealed expression of a 1.3-kb ALG5 transcript in pancreas, placenta, liver, heart, brain, kidney, skeletal muscle, and lung.

MAPPING

Gross (2014) mapped the ALG5 gene to chromosome 13q13.3 based on an alignment of the ALG5 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF161498) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). ... More on the omim web site
