Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

PIGWPhosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class W protein; Required for the transport of GPI-anchored proteins to the plasma membrane. Probable 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). Belongs to the PIGW family. (504 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PIGL
N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol de-N-acetylase; Involved in the second step of GPI biosynthesis. De-N- acetylation of N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol; Belongs to the PIGL family.
  
 
 0.989
PIGM
GPI mannosyltransferase 1; Mannosyltransferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchor biosynthesis. Transfers the first alpha-1,4-mannose to GlcN- acyl-PI during GPI precursor assembly; Belongs to the PIGM family.
   
 
 0.981
GPLD1
Phosphatidylinositol-glycan-specific phospholipase D; This protein hydrolyzes the inositol phosphate linkage in proteins anchored by phosphatidylinositol glycans (GPI-anchor) thus releasing these proteins from the membrane.
   
 
 0.933
PIGX
Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class X protein; Essential component of glycosylphosphatidylinositol- mannosyltransferase 1 which transfers the first of the 4 mannoses in the GPI-anchor precursors during GPI-anchor biosynthesis. Probably acts by stabilizing the mannosyltransferase PIGM (By similarity). Belongs to the PIGX family.
  
 
 0.923
PIGV
GPI mannosyltransferase 2; Alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis. Transfers the second mannose to the glycosylphosphatidylinositol during GPI precursor assembly.
   
  
 0.853
PIGY
Phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit Y; Component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase (GPI-GnT) complex in the endoplasmic reticulum, a complex that catalyzes transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to an acceptor phosphatidylinositol, the first step in the production of GPI-anchors for cell surface proteins. May act by regulating the catalytic subunit PIGA.
      
 0.847
GGNBP2
Gametogenetin-binding protein 2; May be involved in spermatogenesis.
 
 
  
 0.842
PGAP2
Post-GPI attachment to proteins factor 2; Involved in the lipid remodeling steps of GPI-anchor maturation. Required for stable expression of GPI-anchored proteins at the cell surface (By similarity); Belongs to the PGAP2 family.
   
 
 0.827
PIGC
Phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit C; Involved in GPI anchor biosynthesis. Part of the complex catalyzing the transfer of N- acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to phosphatidylinositol, the first step of GPI biosynthesis (ECO:0000269|. Belongs to the PIGC family.
   
 
 0.822
PIGO
GPI ethanolamine phosphate transferase 3; Ethanolamine phosphate transferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis. Transfers ethanolamine phosphate to the GPI third mannose which links the GPI- anchor to the C-terminus of the proteins by an amide bond. Belongs to the PIGG/PIGN/PIGO family. PIGO subfamily.
