PIGX - phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class X Gene
Also Known as PIG-X
Species: Homo sapiens
About PIGX
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants) and 192 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 7.7), prostate (RPKM 7.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The protein is an essential component of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-mannosyltransferase I, which transfers the first of the four mannoses in the GPI-anchor precursors during GPI-anchor biosynthesis. Studies in rat indicate that the protein is translated from a non-AUG translation initiation site. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
