Gene information for PIGT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51604
Official gene symbolPIGT
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class T
Aliases,CGI-06,FLJ41596,MGC8909,NDAP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
