Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The glycosyl hydrolase 47 family is involved in the maturation of Asn-linked oligosaccharides, a critical process in protein quality control and degradation pathways. Members of this family function as alpha-mannosidases, which progressively trim alpha-1,2-linked mannose residues from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to produce Man(5)GlcNAc(2). This enzymatic activity is essential for the proper folding and function of glycoproteins. Some family members are also involved in early N-glycan processing, root development, and cell wall biosynthesis. The activity of these enzymes is regulated by inhibitors such as kifunensine and 1-deoxymannojirimycin, highlighting their specificity and importance in cellular metabolism.
