PIGB phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class B [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 9488)

Symbol: PIGB

Full name: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class B

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: DEE80; EIEE80; GPI-MT-III; PIG-B

Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and 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 is thought to encode a member of a family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) dependent mannosyltransferases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
