🧬 Gene Info

Gene Symbol	OGT
Full Name	O-GlcNAc Transferase
Aliases	Gene profile: OGT
Chromosome	Xq13.1
Function	OGT catalyzes the transfer of a single GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the hydroxyl group of serine and threonine residues on target proteins
Primary Expression	neurons and glia:
Molecular Weight	110 kDa
Amino Acids	016 aa
Pathways	Apoptosis, Autophagy, Glycolysis, Immune Response, Inflammasome
UniProt ID	O15294
GeneCards	OGT
Human Protein Atlas	OGT
Transcription	O-GlcNAcylation of transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB, c-Myc, SP1) modulates their DNA binding, stability, and transcriptional activity (Wells et al., 2001).
Signal Transduction	O-GlcNAcylation of kinases and phosphatases (e.g., AKT, GSK-3β) influences signaling cascade activity (Gandy et al., 2011).
Proteostasis	O-GlcNAcylation affects protein aggregation, degradation, and autophagy (Rexach et al., 2012).
