Gene: PIGT
Official Full Name: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Tprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein 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 an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

PIGT Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in cellular biology research, specifically designed to facilitate the study of the PIGT gene and its associated functions. These cell lines are engineered to have specific deletions or disruptions in the PIGT gene, which encodes for a key enzyme involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis—an essential post-translational modification that plays a critical role in cell surface protein localization and function.
The primary function of PIGT in cellular processes is to mediate the synthesis of GPI anchors, enabling the attachment of numerous proteins to the cell membrane. By understanding the repercussions of knocking out the PIGT gene, researchers can elucidate its role in various biological functions, including signal transduction, cell adhesion, and immune response. This targeted approach allows for advancements in understanding diseases linked to faulty GPI anchor biosynthesis, such as certain neurological disorders and cancer.
In both research and clinical settings, the PIGT Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide invaluable tools for studying gene function and characterizing the molecular pathways involved in health and disease. Their application spans drug discovery, genetic pathology, and the development of gene therapies, making them essential for academics and biotech companies alike.
