Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class W
Gene Summary
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a complex glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the cell surface. PIGW acts in the third step of GPI biosynthesis and acylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol.Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a complex glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the cell surface.
