A second mannose is added to the N-glycan precursor via an alpha-1,3 linkage. The reaction is catalyzed by the mannosyltransferase ALG2. This is a bifunctional enzyme with both alpha 1,3- and alpha 1,6-mannosyltransferase activities. In humans, only the alpha 1,3 activity used in this reaction has been elucidated (Thiel et al. 2003). Defects in ALG2 are the cause of ALG2-CDG (CDG-1i; MIM:607906) (Thiel et al. 2003).
