Gene information for PIGS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID94005
Official gene symbolPIGS
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class S
Aliases,DKFZp686K20216,FLJ45226,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq]
