PIGZ
phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Z (Gwada blood group) | FLJ12768, GPI-MT-IV, MGC52163, PIG-Z, SMP3, hSMP3

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells that serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in GPI anchor biosynthesis. As shown for the yeast homolog, which is a member of a family of dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man)-dependent mannosyltransferases, this protein can also add a side-branching fourth mannose to GPI precursors during the assembly of GPI anchors.

PIGZ — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PIGZ 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PIGZ. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = PIGZ upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to PIGZ

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PIGZ, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
