Gene namePIGK
Protein nameGPI-anchor transamidase (Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class K protein)
GPI-anchor transamidase (GPI transamidase) (EC 3.-.-.-) (GPI8 homolog) (hGPI8) (Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class K protein) (PIG-K)
Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class K
SynonymshCG_22810
GPI8
DescriptionFUNCTION: Component of the GPI transamidase complex, necessary for transfer of GPI to proteins . Mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by replacing a protein's C-terminal GPI attachment signal peptide with a pre-assembled GPI. During this transamidation reaction, the GPI transamidase forms a carbonyl intermediate with the substrate protein. .
