Function
This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor.
Clinical aspect
Mutations in PIGN cause Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.[6]
gollark: Memes are highly subjective.
gollark: observe, a MEME™
gollark: Because you can infect others.
gollark: That doesn't really work.
gollark: Nonsense. This is very legitimate, it has the Samsung logo on it.
