Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Acts as accessory component 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. Required for efficient substrate- specific N-glycosylation probably involving the STT3A-containing OST complex. May be involved in N-glycosylation of APP (amyloid- beta precursor protein). Can modulate gamma-secretase cleavage of APP by enhancing endoprotelysis of PSEN1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21768116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22467853, ECO:0000305}.
