EC 2.4.1.119

Accepted name: dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide—protein glycotransferase

Reaction: dolichyl diphosphooligosaccharide + protein L-asparagine = dolichyl diphosphate + a glycoprotein with the oligosaccharide chain attached by N-glycosyl linkage to protein L-asparagine

Other name(s): dolichyldiphosphooligosaccharide-protein glycosyltransferase; asparagine N-glycosyltransferase; dolichyldiphosphooligosaccharide-protein oligosaccharyltransferase; dolichylpyrophosphodiacetylchitobiose-protein glycosyltransferase; oligomannosyltransferase; oligosaccharide transferase; dolichyldiphosphoryloligosaccharide-protein oligosaccharyltransferase

Systematic name: dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide:protein-L-asparagine oligopolysaccharidotransferase

Comments: Transfers the glucosyl-mannosyl-glucosamine polysaccharide side-chains of glycoproteins to an asparagine residue in the sequence Asn-Xaa-Ser or Asn-Xaa-Thr in the nascent polypeptide chains of the protein moiety.
