PIGW
Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class W is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PIGW gene. [5]
Function
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a complex glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the cell surface. PIGW acts in the third step of GPI biosynthesis and acylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol (Murakami et al., 2003 [PubMed 14517336]).
gollark: But mine actually does a lot of complex OS-ey things for sandboxing - basically, to stop people from meddling with its code, uninstalling it, sort of thing, but keep existing programs working, I have to try and confine stuff to a limited amount of functionality.
gollark: ComputerCraft computers are pretty feature-complete with just the built-in software, so most "OS"es are just fancy GUIs.
gollark: * logs incidents to
gollark: Right now I'm actually working on a web UI for the system it logs "incidents", i.e. people uninstalling it, disk signature validation errors, banned programs being run, sort of thing.
gollark: It comprises thousands of lines of bizarrely written code which does... stuff, and things. It kind of works like a fuzz tester for emulators and stuff because it does bizarre exotic things it possibly shouldn't and exposes bugs in things.
