Full Name

Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class L

Keywords

CHIME; Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class L

Background

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the second step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis, which is the de-N-acetylation of N-acetylglucosaminylphosphatidylinositol (GlcNAc-PI). Study of a similar rat enzyme suggests that this protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum.
