Phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit H (PIGH)

The protein contains 188 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 21081 Da.

 

Part of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex that catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to phosphatidylinositol and participates in the first step of GPI biosynthesis. (updated: Feb. 10, 2021)

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 600154

Phosphatidylinositol glycan, class h; pigh

DESCRIPTION

The PIGH gene encodes an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor (Kamitani et al., 1993); see PIGA (311770) and PIGF (600153) for other components of the system.

CLONING

Kamitani et al. (1993) isolated cDNA for a human gene that repaired the defect in a complementation class H mutant cell line. They determined that PIGH encodes a predicted protein of 188 amino acids.

GENE FUNCTION

Watanabe et al. (1996) demonstrated that the PIGA and PIGH proteins form a protein complex and are subunits of the GPI GlcNAc transferase of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They showed that PIGH is a cytoplasmic ER-associated protein. Using immunoprecipitation experiments, Watanabe et al. (1998) demonstrated that PIGQ (605754) associates specifically with PIGA, PIGC (601730), and PIGH and that all 4 proteins form a complex that has GPI-GlcNAc transferase (GPI-GnT) activity in vitro.

MAPPING

Ware et al. (1994) demonstrated that the mouse Pigh gene is located on chromosome 12 in a region of homology of synteny with human 14q11-q24. ... More on the omim web site
