Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PIGZ |
---|---|
Synonyms | SMP3 |
Function | Mannosyltransferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchor biosynthesis. Transfers a fourth mannose to some trimannosyl- GPIs during GPI precursor assembly. The presence of a fourth mannose in GPI is facultative and only scarcely detected, suggesting that it only exists in some tissues. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed at low level, with highest level in brain and colon. |

Background
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is aglycolipid found on many blood cells that serves to anchor proteinsto the cell surface. This gene encodes a protein that is localizedto the endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in GPI anchorbiosynthesis. As shown for the yeast homolog, which is a member ofa family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man)-dependentmannosyltransferases, this protein can also add a side-branchingfourth mannose to GPI precursors during the assembly of GPIanchors.
