| Name | PGAP3 (HGNC:23719) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | CAB2, PERLD1 |
| Function | Involved in the fatty acid remodeling steps of GPI-anchor maturation where the unsaturated acyl chain at sn-2 of inositol phosphate is replaced by a saturated stearoyl chain (PubMed:17021251, PubMed:24439110). May catalyze the first step of the fatty acid remodeling, by removing the unsaturated acyl chain at sn-2 of inositol phosphate, generating a lyso-GPI intermediate (Probable). The fatty acid remodeling steps is critical for the integration of GPI-APs into lipid rafts (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in thyroid and placenta. |

Background
PGAP3 is involved in the lipid remodeling steps of GPI-anchor maturation. Lipid remodeling steps consist in the generation of 2 saturated fatty chains at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchors proteins. Required for phospholipase A2 activity that removes an acyl-chain at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchors during the remodeling of GPI (Probable).

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
