PIGY - phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Y Gene
Also Known as PIG-Y; HPMRS6
Species: Homo sapiens
About PIGY
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 120 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal (RPKM 45.6), fat (RPKM 42.6) and 25 other tissues.
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.
