Phosphatidylinositol-glycans (PIGs) are multi-pass transmembrane proteins that localize to the endoplasmic reticulum. PIGs exhibit various functions but all are crucial for the biosynthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor, which acts as a membrane anchor for many eukaryotic cells. Some PIG proteins are components of the GPI transamidase complex and play a role in the recognition of either the GPI attachment signal or the lipid portion of GPI. Other PIGs belong to the glycosyltransferase complex (GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase or GPI-GnT) and function in the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to phosphatidylinositol (PI). A variety of other PIGs play distinct roles in GPI synthesis. PIG-V, a 493 amino acid protein, functions as a mannosyltransferaise in GPI anchor biosynthesis.
