Gene information for PIGW (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID284098
Official gene symbolPIGW
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class W
Aliases,FLJ37433,Gwt1,
Gene summaryGlycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a complex glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the cell surface. PIGW acts in the third step of GPI biosynthesis and acylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol (Murakami et al., 2003 [PubMed 14517336]).[supplied by OMIM]
