Ribophorin II Antibody / RPN2

Dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide-protein glycosyltransferase subunit 2, also called Ribophorin II, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RPN2 gene. This gene encodes a type I integral membrane protein found only in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein is part of an N-oligosaccharyl transferase complex that links high mannose oligosaccharides to asparagine residues found in the Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif of nascent polypeptide chains. This protein is similar in sequence to the yeast oligosaccharyl transferase subunit SWP1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
