ID:MGT5B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase B; EC=2.4.1.-; EC=2.4.1.155; AltName: Full=Alpha-mannoside beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase B; AltName: Full=GlcNAc-T Vb; Short=GNT-Vb; Short=hGnTVb; AltName: Full=Mannoside acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5B; AltName: Full=N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase Vb; AltName: Full=N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IX; Short=GNT-IX; 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 GlcNAcbeta1,2-Manalpha on both the alpha1,3- and alpha1,6-linked mannose arms in the core structure of N-glycan. Also acts on the GlcNAcbeta1,2-Manalpha1-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. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + 6-(2-(N-acetyl- beta-D-glucosaminyl)-alpha-D-mannosyl)-beta-D-mannosyl-R = UDP + 6-(2,6-bis(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-alpha-D-mannosyl)-beta-D- mannosyl-R. COFACTOR: Divalent metal cations. According to PubMed:12941944, divalent metal cations do not effect enzyme activity. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein glycosylation. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed in brain. Expressed in all area of the adult and fetal brain Also expressed at much lower level in testis, spleen and thymus. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 18 family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
