Generic protein structure example

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase subunit ALG14 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ALG14 gene.[1][2]

Asparagine (N)-glycosylation is an essential modification that regulates protein folding and stability. ALG13 and ALG14 (this protein) constitute the UDP-GlcNAc transferase, which catalyzes a key step in endoplasmic reticulum N-linked glycosylation.[3]
