|
| Function |
Essential for GPI-anchoring of precursor proteins but not for GPI synthesis. Acts before or during formation of the carbonyl intermediate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9468317}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483512}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483512}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Expressed at higher levels in fetal tissues than adult tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9468317}.
