Gene information for PIGQ (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9091
Official gene symbolPIGQ
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class Q
Aliases,GPI1,MGC12693,c407A10.1,hGPI1,
Gene summaryThis gene is involved in the first step 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 gene encodes a N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase component that is part of the complex that catalyzes transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to phosphatidylinositol (PI).
