Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionProbable acetyltransferase, which acetylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol during biosynthesis of GPI- anchor. Acetylation during GPI-anchor biosynthesis is not essential for the subsequent mannosylation and is usually removed soon after the attachment of GPIs to proteins (By similarity).
PathwayGlycolipid biosynthesis; glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchor biosynthesis.
SimilarityBelongs to the PIGW family.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO
