UniProt data
UniProt name: GPI8_HUMAN (Q92643)
Gene name: PIGK; Synonyms=GPI8
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: 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.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483512}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483512}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 368-388, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 395 AA
