COG7
COG7 is a gene that in humans is encoded by the COG7 gene. It is a component of the conserved oligomeric Golgi complex, which is involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. Mutations in this gene are associated with Congenital disorder of glycosylation type II.
Function[edit | edit source]
The COG7 gene is a component of the conserved oligomeric Golgi complex (COG), a multiprotein complex that plays a key role in the Golgi apparatus' structure and function. The COG complex is required for normal vesicular trafficking and glycosylation, essential processes in the cells.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the COG7 gene are associated with a rare congenital disorder known as Congenital disorder of glycosylation type II (CDG-II). This disorder is characterized by severe developmental delay, dysmorphic features, and life-threatening complications. The condition is caused by a deficiency in the COG7 protein, leading to abnormal glycosylation.
