phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class A

The PIGA gene provides instructions for making a protein called phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (shortened to PIG-A). The PIG-A protein takes part in a series of steps that produce a molecule called glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Specifically, the PIG-A protein is one piece of a group of proteins (a complex) that performs the first step of the series, which produces an intermediate molecule called N-acetylglucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol, or GlcNAc-PI.

Normal function

The PIGA gene provides instructions for making a protein called phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (shortened to PIG-A). The PIG-A protein takes part in a series of steps that produce a molecule called glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Specifically, the PIG-A protein is one piece of a group of proteins (a complex) that performs the first step of the series, which produces an intermediate molecule called N-acetylglucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol, or GlcNAc-PI.

The GPI anchor, the ultimate product of the series of steps, attaches many different proteins to the cell membrane. These proteins are known as GPI-anchored proteins. Anchored proteins have a variety of roles, including sticking cells to one another, relaying signals into cells, and protecting cells from destruction.

माइट्रल स्टेनोसिस means that when the mitral valve opens, it does not open fully. The opening is therefore narrower than normal (stenosed). The mitral valve है a heart valve that lies between the left atrium and left ventricle. The valve has two flaps (cusps). The valve allows blood to flow into the left ventricle when the left atrium squeezes.
