PIGT

GPI transamidase component PIG-T is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIGT is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a is_associated_with::protein that is involved in is_associated_with::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 an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transis_associated_with::amidase. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the is_associated_with::endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins.

Interactions
PIGT has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PIGK and is_associated_with::GPAA1.
