Protein Domain : Phosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis protein PIGW/GWT1 IPR009447

Type  Family
Description  Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a conserved post-translational modification to anchor cell surface proteins to plasma membrane in eukaryotes. PIGW and the yeast homologue GWT1 are involved in the addition of the acyl-chain to inositol in an early step of GPI biosynthesis [ ]. Mutations in PIGW are associated with West syndrome and hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome [].
