In molecular biology, OST4 (Dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide—protein glycosyltransferase subunit 4) is a subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex.[1] OST4 is a very short, approximately 30 amino acids, protein found from fungi to vertebrates. It appears to be an integral membrane protein that mediates the en bloc transfer of a pre-assembled high-mannose oligosaccharide onto asparagine residues of nascent polypeptides as they enter the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.[2][3]
