Function Essential subunit of the N-oligosaccharyl transferase (OST) complex which catalyzes the transfer of a high mannose oligosaccharide from a lipid-linked oligosaccharide donor to an asparagine residue within an Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif in nascent polypeptide chains. N-glycosylation occurs cotranslationally and the complex associates with the Sec61 complex at the channel-forming translocon complex that mediates protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). All subunits are required for a maximal enzyme activity.
Subcellular Location Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Top Pathways N-Glycan biosynthesis, Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, Various types of N-glycan biosynthesis
