  • it is ER-localized because of information in its transmembrane span
  • basic FUNCTION
  • stabilizing the fonction of GAA1 and PIGK
  • is essential for attachment of the preassembled GPI anchor to proteins
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • complexing with PIGK, PIGS, GAA1
  • expression of NDAP might be a checkpoint for apoptosis during neuronal development
  • PIGS and PIGT are components of the GPI transamidase complex and are essential for the formation of the carbonyl intermediates necessary when the transamidase complex transfers the GPI group to the protein
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • different regulations of PIGT expression by neurotrophins indicate that its expression might be a checkpoint for apoptosis during neuronal development
  • PIGT, PIGU, and GPAA1 may form a core complex associated by PIGS, and these four subunits may stabilize PIGK, triggering GPI anchoring reactions
