Description
Description
In glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex catalyzes the transfer of N-acteylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to phosphatidylinositol (PI) generating GlcNAc-PI. The PIG-A gene encodes the catalytic subunit of the complex. (Adapted from PMID:11102867 and PMID:19883648).
