Gene information for GPAA1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8733
Official gene symbolGPAA1
Full nameglycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor attachment protein 1 homolog (yeast)
Aliases,GAA1,hGAA1,
Gene summaryPosttranslational glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor attachment serves as a general mechanism for linking proteins to the cell surface membrane. The protein encoded by this gene presumably functions in GPI anchoring at the GPI transfer step. The mRNA transcript is ubiquitously expressed in both fetal and adult tissues. The anchor attachment protein 1 contains an N-terminal signal sequence, 1 cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, 1 leucine zipper pattern, 2 potential N-glycosylation sites, and 8 putative transmembrane domains.
