Summary
ALG1 (ALG1 chitobiosyldiphosphodolichol beta-mannosyltransferase, HGNC:18294) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p13.3, encoding Chitobiosyldiphosphodolichol beta-mannosyltransferase (Q9BT22). Mannosyltransferase that operates in the biosynthetic pathway of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides, the glycan precursors employed in protein asparagine (N)-glycosylation. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 90.5% of cancer cell lines).
The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the first mannosylation step in the biosynthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides. This gene is mutated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ik.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 6)
- DNA sequencing of ALG1 revealed nine different mutations, seven of which have not been previously reported. Clinical presentations of deficiency are severe, with dysmorphias, CNS involvement and ocular disturbances (PMID:20679665)
- Family study defining the phenotype of deficiency of beta-1,4 mannosyltransferase (MT-1) congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), due to ALG1 gene mutations. Four novel ALG1 mutations were identified. (PMID:22966035)
- Was detected in the patient’s ALG1-coding sequence. (PMID:24157261)
- Study presents molecular, clinical and biochemical findings in the largest collection of ALG1-CDG cases ever reported at a single time with 39 cases, bringing the total number to 57. This ranks it the third most common CDG type behind PMM2-CDG and ALG6-CDG. In addition, highly lethal genotype were identified and confirm the presence of a unique xeno-tetrasaccharide in ALG1-CDG patients. (PMID:26931382)
- evaluated the genetic association of WDR3 and ALG1 in schizophrenia. We examined 21 single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs; W1 (rs1812607)-W16 (rs6656360), A1 (rs8053916)-A10 (rs9673733)] from these genes using the Japanese case-control sample (1,808 schizophrenics and 2,170 matched controls). No significant genetic associations of these SNPs were identified. However, we detected a significant association of W4 (rs319471) (PMID:29309433)

Function. Mannosyltransferase that operates in the biosynthetic pathway of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides, the glycan precursors employed in protein asparagine (N)-glycosylation. The assembly of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides begins on the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and finishes in its lumen. The sequential addition of sugars to dolichol pyrophosphate produces dolichol-linked oligosaccharides containing fourteen sugars, including two GlcNAcs, nine mannoses and three glucoses. Once assembled, the oligosaccharide is transferred from the lipid to nascent proteins by oligosaccharyltransferases. Catalyzes, on the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum, the addition of the first mannose residues to the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide chain, to produce Man1GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol core oligosaccharide. Man1GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol is a substrate for ALG2, the following enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Disease relevance. Congenital disorder of glycosylation 1K (CDG1K) [MIM:608540] A form of congenital disorder of glycosylation, a multisystem disorder caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. Congenital disorders of glycosylation result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein glycosylation.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase group 1 family. Glycosyltransferase 33 subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 48 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
