Invented by Prof Birgit Lane from A*STAR Accelerate Technologies Pte Ltd
Invented at University of Dundee

Info

Catalogue Number 153410
Applications IP WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets ribophorin type 1
Synonyms OST1; RBPH1
Reactivity Xenopus laevis
Relevance Ribophorin I is an essential subunit of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), which is also known as dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide--protein glycosyltransferase. OST catalyses the transfer of an oligosaccharide from dolichol pyrophosphate to selected asparagine residues of nascent polypeptides as they are translocated into the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribophorin I and OST48 are thought to be responsible for OST catalytic activity. Both yeast and mammalian proteins are glycosylated but the sites are not conserved. Glycosylation may contribute towards general solubility but is unlikely to be involved in a specific biochemical function. Most family members are predicted to have a transmembrane helix at the C terminus of this region.
