Pigo Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables mannose-ethanolamine phosphotransferase activity. Involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperphosphatasia with impaired intellectual development syndrome 2. Orthologous to human PIGO (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class O).

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 Pigo often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
