Gene information for PIGV (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55650
Official gene symbolPIGV
Full namephosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class V
Aliases,FLJ20477,
Gene summaryGlycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a complex glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the cell surface. The biosynthetic pathway of GPI is mediated by sequential addition of sugars and other components to phosphatidylinositol. PIGV adds the second mannose to the GPI core (Kang et al., 2005 [PubMed 15623507]).[supplied by OMIM]
