Gene information for PIGX (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54965
Official gene symbolPIGX
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class X
Aliases,FLJ20522,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The protein is an essential component of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-mannosyltransferase I, which transfers the first of the four mannoses in the GPI-anchor precursors during GPI-anchor biosynthesis. Studies in rat indicate that the protein is translated from a non-AUG translation initiation site. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
