Pigt Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in attachment of GPI anchor to protein. Acts upstream of or within neuron apoptotic process and neuron differentiation. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Part of GPI-anchor transamidase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Orthologous to human PIGT (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class T). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pigt often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
