Pigy Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to contribute to phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperphosphatasia with impaired intellectual development syndrome 6. Orthologous to human PIGY (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Y).

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