Glycotransferase
noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 Any enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a sugar moiety
"CG33303 is predicted to have the dolichyl-diphosphooligosachharide-protein glycotransferase activity based on its similarity with human Ribophorin I. As candidates from this class show differential effect on different tendon cell clusters i.e. dorsal-anterior and posterior tendon cell cluster it would be interesting to investigate their role in specifying these tendon cell clusters."
