PIGY / Phosphatidylinositol N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Subunit Y Recombinant Protein | PIGY recombinant protein
Human PIGY / Phosphatidylinositol N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Subunit Y Recombinant Protein
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is part of the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GIP-GnT) complex which initiates the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves as an anchor for many surface proteins. Proteins containing GPI anchors can have an important role in cell-cell interactions. The transcript for this gene is bicistronic. The downstream open reading frame encodes this GPI-GnT complex protein, while the upstream open reading frame encodes a protein with unknown function, as represented by GeneID:100996939.

Uniprot Description
PIGY: Component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase (GPI-GnT) complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, a complex that catalyzes transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to an acceptor phosphatidylinositol, the first step in the production of GPI-anchors for cell surface proteins. May act by regulating the catalytic subunit PIGA. Belongs to the PREY family.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q22.1
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex; integral to membrane; plasma membrane
Biological Process: GPI anchor biosynthetic process

Product Notes
The PIGY pigy (Catalog #AAA2902425) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PIGY / Phosphatidylinositol N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Subunit Y can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Antigen Protein (AP), Protein Array. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PIGY pigy for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PIGY / Phosphatidylinositol N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Subunit Y, Recombinant Protein" 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
