Gene information for PIGB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9488
Official gene symbolPIGB
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class B
Aliases,MGC21236,
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 found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene is thought to encode a member of a family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) dependent mannosyltransferases. [provided by RefSeq]
