Guinea pig GPI-anchor transamidase (PIGK) ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the cysteine protease family C13 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 a member of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase and is thought to be its enzymatic component. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PIGK: Mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by replacing a protein's C-terminal GPI attachment signal peptide with a pre-assembled GPI. During this transamidation reaction, the GPI transamidase forms a carbonyl intermediate with the substrate protein. Belongs to the peptidase C13 family.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig PIGK pigk (Catalog #AAA7210038) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7210038 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig PIGK. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GPI-anchor transamidase (PIGK), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
