    Summary
    Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) complex. Used to study multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 2 and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Orthologous to human PIGA (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
