About Piga

Summary

Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within GPI anchor biosynthetic process and cellular response to Leukemia Inhibitory Factor. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex. Is expressed in 1st branchial arch; central nervous system; heart; limb; and medial-nasal process. Used to study autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 2 and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Orthologous to human PIGA (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
