Background:
UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGT) is a soluble protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that selectively reglucosylates unfolded glycoproteins, thus providing quality control for protein transport out of the ER.
Synonyms:
UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 2
UniProt Protein Function:
Function: Recognizes glycoproteins with minor folding defects. Reglucosylates single N-glycans near the misfolded part of the protein, thus providing quality control for protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. Reglucosylated proteins are recognized by calreticulin for recycling to the endoplasmic reticulum and refolding or degradation By similarity.Cofactor: Calcium or manganese.Pathway: Protein modification; protein glycosylation.Subunit structure: Interacts with METTL23. Ref.8Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment Ref.5. Tissue specificity: Higher levels in kidney, pancreas, heart, and skeletal muscle. Ref.1Sequence similarities: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 8 family.Caution: Has no enzymatic activity towards unfolded RNase B or thyroglobulin (Ref.1).
