| Description: | GPI8 is 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. |
| Further Information: | This GPI8 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 37-68 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human GPI8. |
| Synonym: | GPI-anchor transamidase, GPI transamidase, 3---, GPI8 homolog, hGPI8, Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class K protein, PIG-K, PIGK, GPI8 |
