Function

Component of the GPI transamidase complex. Essential for transfer of GPI to proteins, particularly for formation of carbonyl intermediates.

Involvement in disease

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis defect 18

GPIBD18

An autosomal recessive disorder with onset in utero or early infancy and characterized by severe global developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia, weakness, ataxia, and dysmorphic facial features.

None
