The enzyme, characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanococcus voltae, initiates N-linked glycosylation in that organism. The enzyme differs from the eukaryotic enzyme, which leaves one additional phosphate group on the dolichyl product (cf. EC 2.7.8.15, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine---dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase).

the enzyme initiates the N-linked glycan biosynthesis in the cytoplasm by transfer of N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine to the membrane bound acceptor dolichyl phosphate
the enzyme shows much higher activity with the shorter, native-like (C5560) dolichyl monophosphate substrate compared with the longer (C85105) dolichyl monophosphate, indicating a strong preference of the enzyme for the shorter dolichols found in archaea

the enzyme initiates the N-linked glycan biosynthesis in the cytoplasm by transfer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to the membrane bound acceptor dolichyl phosphate. The recombinant enzyme produced in Escherichia coli sediments with the membrane fraction and requires detergent for solubility, suggesting it may contain hydrophobic regions that associate with the membrane
