The precursor oligosaccharide is transferred from a

dolichol lipid anchor to the asparagine as an intact unit in a reaction catalyzed by a transmembrane oligosaccharyl transferase enzyme complex.

Prior to transfer to a nascent chain in the lumen of the  ER, the oligosaccharide precursor is assembled on amembrane- attached anchor called dolichol phosphate, a longchain polyisoprenoid lipid
