mannose-6-phosphate

Introduction

mannose 6-phosphate markers on high mannose type oligosaccharides bind to mannose-6-phosphate receptors, which mediate vesicular transport of lysosomal enzymes to the endosomal/prelysosomal compartment

The enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase catalyzes formation of mannose-6-phosphate residues

More general terms

• mannose phosphate

Additional terms

• N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase)
