Pigh Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PIGH (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class H). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Pigh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
