This protein facilitates the transfer of ethanolamine phosphate to the third mannose in the GPI anchor precursor. The molecular mass of PIGN is approximately 52 kDa. Expression of PIGN is widespread across various tissues including liver pancreas and kidney.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPIGN plays an important role in anchoring proteins to the cell membrane by forming part of the GPI transamidase complex. This complex which includes other proteins such as PIGK PIGS and GPAA1 is essential for the attachment of GPI anchors to proteins. PIGN ensures correct positioning and functionality of proteins on the cell surface affecting cell-cell communication and signaling.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPIGN participates in the GPI-anchor biosynthesis pathway. This pathway is important for the surface display of many proteins influencing processes like immune response and signal transduction. PIGN's role is tied to the trafficking and localization of GPI-anchored proteins. It also interacts with proteins like PIGA in the same biosynthetic pathway maintaining the integrity and function of cell membranes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPIGN mutations have links to multiple congenital abnormalities including Mabry syndrome characterized by symptoms like intellectual disability and hyperphosphatasia. Furthermore studies associate PIGN with cancer due to its role in cell signaling and proliferation. Alterations in the expression or function of PIGN could affect related proteins like PIGV contributing to these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848607813801,"sku":"ab238577","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab238577","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
