Pigp Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to contribute to phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. 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. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 55. Orthologous to human PIGP (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class P). [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 rat Pigp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
