Gene information for PIGM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID93183
Official gene symbolPIGM
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class M
Aliases,GPI-MT-I,MGC29896,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor is a glycolipid which contains three mannose molecules in its core backbone. The GPI-anchor is found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes a mannosyltransferase, GPI-MT-I, that transfers the first mannose to GPI on the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq]
