Several cell surface proteins are attached to the membrane through their C-terminal domain and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety. Phosphatidylinositol-glycans (PIGs) are multi-pass transmembrane proteins that localize to the endoplasmic reticulum. PIGs are crucial for the synthesis of N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol, a very early intermediate in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. PIGs play a role in the recognition of either the GPI attachment signal or the lipid portion of GPI. PIG-N (Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class N protein), also known as GPI ethanolamine phosphate transferase 1 and MCD4 homolog, is a 931 amino acid enzyme of the endoplasmic reticulum that transfers ethanolamine phosphate to the first å-1,4-linked mannose of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol precursor of GPI-anchor. The gene encoding PIG-N is localized near a region of human chromosome 18 that may be implicated in chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.
