GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PIGY (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC14156
Description
Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class Y (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is part of the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GIP-GnT) complex which initiates the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves as an anchor for many surface proteins. Proteins containing GPI anchors can have an important role in cell-cell interactions. The transcript for this gene is bicistronic. The downstream open reading frame encodes this GPI-GnT complex protein, while the upstream open reading frame encodes a protein with unknown function, as represented by GeneID:100996939.
