Gene: PIGL
Alternate names for this Gene: CHIME
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17p11.2
Description of this Gene: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class L
Type of Gene: protein-coding
