Gene information for PIGH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5283
Official gene symbolPIGH
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class H
Aliases,GPI-H,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum associated protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and which serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the GPI N-acetylglucosaminyl (GlcNAc) transferase that transfers GlcNAc to phosphatidylinositol (PI) on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum.
