Species: Homo sapiens
About PIGQ
This gene has 25 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 21.8), kidney (RPKM 15.6) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene is involved in the first step 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 gene encodes a N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase component that is part of the complex that catalyzes transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to phosphatidylinositol (PI). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
