Description
Product Characteristics: Pigs is a component of the GPI transamidase complex. It is essential for transfer of GPI to proteins, particularly for formation of carbonyl intermediates. Synonyms: Polyclonal Pigs antibody, Anti-Pigs antibody, phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class S antibody, BC058979 antibody, Gm393 antibody, Gm689 antibody.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein that is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
