basic FUNCTION
  • involved in adding ethanolaminephosphate to the second mannose in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)
  • enzyme that modifies the second mannose with ethanolamine phosphate, which is removed soon after GPI is attached to the protein
  • attaches ethanolamine phosphate (EtNP) to the second mannose. Different from other PIG genes, PIGG is not essential for GPI-AP biosynthesis

    small molecule
    protein
  • second partner of PIGF and involved in modification of glycosylphosphatidylinositol
  • competition between the two independent enzymes, PIGO and PIGG, for the common stabilizer, PIGF
