Gene: PIGF

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor, a glycolipid containing three mannose molecules in its core backbone, is found on many blood cells where it serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. The encoded protein and another GPI synthesis protein, PIGO, function in the transfer of ethanolaminephosphate to the third mannose in GPI. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p21

Description of this Gene: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class F

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: CRIPT

Alternate names for this Gene: HSPC139|SSMDF

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that binds to the PDZ3 peptide recognition domain. The encoded protein may modulates protein interactions with the cytoskeleton. A mutation in this gene resulted in short stature with microcephaly and distinctive facies.
