Description: Homo sapiens phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class S (PIGS), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_033198): 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]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr17:26,880,406-26,898,887 Size: 18,482 Total Exon Count: 12 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr17:26,881,238-26,898,514 Size: 17,277 Coding Exon Count: 12
ID:PIGS_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=GPI transamidase component PIG-S; AltName: Full=Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class S protein; FUNCTION: Component of the GPI transamidase complex. Essential for transfer of GPI to proteins, particularly for formation of carbonyl intermediates. PATHWAY: Glycolipid biosynthesis; glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchor biosynthesis. SUBUNIT: Forms a complex with PIGK/GPI8, PIGT, PIGU and GAA1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the PIGS family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
