Background
Posttranslational glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor attachment serves as a general mechanism for linking proteins to the cell surface membrane. The protein encoded by this gene presumably functions in GPI anchoring at the GPI transfer step. The mRNA transcript is ubiquitously expressed in both fetal and adult tissues. The anchor attachment protein 1 contains an N-terminal signal sequence, 1 cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, 1 leucine zipper pattern, 2 potential N-glycosylation sites, and 8 putative transmembrane domains.

Function
function:Essential for GPI-anchoring of precursor proteins but not for GPI synthesis. Acts before or during formation of the carbonyl intermediate.,pathway:Glycolipid biosynthesis; glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis.,sequence caution:Erroneous prediction from an unspliced cDNA.,subunit:Forms a complex with PIGK/GPI8, PIGT, PIGU and PIGS.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Expressed at higher levels in fetal tissues than adult tissues.,
