      • Background:
      • 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.

      • Function:
      • function:Component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase (GPI-GnT) complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, a complex that catalyzes transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to an acceptor phosphatidylinositol, the first step in the production of GPI-anchors for cell surface proteins. May act by regulating the catalytic subunit PIGA.,miscellaneous:PIGY is derived from the same bicistronic transcript that encodes this protein.,miscellaneous:PREY is derived from the same bicistronic transcript that encodes this protein.,pathway:Glycolipid biosynthesis; glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the PREY family.,similarity:Contains 1 TRM112 domain.,subunit:Interacts with the GPI-GnT complex composed of PIGA, PIGC, PIGH, PIGP, PIGQ and DPM2. Interacts directly with PIGA. Does not interact with Ras proteins.,
