Background
PIGA is a protein required for synthesis of N-acetylglucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol (GlcNAc-PI), the first intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of GPI anchor. The GPI anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and which serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, an acquired hematologic disorder, has been shown to result from mutations in this gene. Synonyms: Polyclonal PIGA antibody, Anti-PIGA antibody, phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class A antibody, GPI3 antibody, PIG-A antibody.
