Abstract excerpt
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) represents an important anchoring molecule for cell surface proteins. The first step in its synthesis is the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP to phosphatidylinositol (PI). The products of three mammalian genes, PIG-A, PIG-C and PIG-H, have previously been shown to be involved in the putative enzymic complex. Here we report the cloning of human and mouse cDNAs...
