Gene information for Pigx (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID72084
Official gene symbolPigx
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class X
Aliases2010319C14Rik,PIG-X
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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
