General Information

  • Identifier IPR007315
  • Description GPI mannosyltransferase 2

Abstract

This entry represents GPI mannosyltransferase 2, also known as PIG-V in humans or Gpi18 in fungi. PIG-V is a mannosyltransferase that transfers the second mannose in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. GPI is a glycolipid that anchors many proteins to the eukaryotic cell surface [ 4 ].
