PIGN - phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class N Gene
Also Known as MCD4; MDC4; MCAHS; PIG-N; MCAHS1
Species: Homo sapiens
About PIGN
This gene has 51 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 8.5), thyroid (RPKM 7.2) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor. Two alternatively spliced variants, which encode an identical isoform, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
