Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_GPI_ANCHOR_METABOLIC_PROCESS

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_GPI_ANCHOR_METABOLIC_PROCESS

Standard name GOBP_GPI_ANCHOR_METABOLIC_PROCESS
Systematic name MM4728
Brief description The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors, molecular mechanisms for attaching membrane proteins to the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Structurally they consist of a molecule of phosphatidylinositol to which is linked, via the C-6 hydroxyl of the inositol, a carbohydrate chain. This chain is in turn linked to the protein through an ethanolamine phosphate group, the amino group of which is in amide linkage with the C-terminal carboxyl of the protein chain, the phosphate group being esterified to the C-6 hydroxyl of the terminal mannose of the core carbohydrate chain.
