PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The protein encoded by PIGY (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Y) is part of the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GIP-GnT) complex which initiates the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) . GPI is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves as an anchor for many surface proteins. Proteins containing GPI anchors can have an important role in cell-cell interactions. The transcript for PIGY is bicistronic. The downstream open reading frame encodes this GPI-GnT complex protein, while the upstream open reading frame encodes a protein with unknown function, as represented by GeneID: 100996939.
