| Function | Catalytic subunit of the ethanolamine phosphate transferase 3 complex that transfers an ethanolamine phosphate (EtNP) from a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to the 6-OH position of the third alpha- 1,2-linked mannose of an alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)-2-PEtn- alpha-D-Man-(1->4)-alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2-acyl-sn-glycero-3- phospho)-2-acyl-inositol (also termed H6) intermediate to generate a 6- PEtn-alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)-2-PEtn-alpha-D-Man-(1->4)- alpha-D-GlcN-(1->6)-(1-radyl,2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-2-acyl- inositol (also termed H7) and participates in the tenth step of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis. |
| Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JJI6}; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid which contains three mannose molecules in its core backbone. The GPI-anchor is found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is involved in the transfer of ethanolaminephosphate (EtNP) to the third mannose in GPI. At least two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

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.
