Members of this entry are glycosyltransferases, belonging to the ALG10 family. The majority of the members are annotated as alpha-1,2 glucosyltransferas. The ALG10 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast) encodes the alpha-1,2 glucosyltransferase of the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein has been characterised in Rat as potassium channel regulator 1 [1].

The ALG10 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes the alpha-1,2 glucosyltransferase of the endoplasmic reticulum: the terminal glucose of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide is required for efficient N-linked glycosylation.
