{"symbol":"PIGB","synonyms":["GPI-MT-III","PIG-B"],"name":"phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class B","description":"This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene is thought to encode a member of a family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) dependent mannosyltransferases.
