| Function |
Mannosyltransferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis. Transfers a fourth mannose to some trimannosyl-GPIs during GPI precursor assembly. The presence of a fourth mannose in GPI is facultative and only scarcely detected, suggesting that it only exists in some tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15208306}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15208306}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15208306}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed at low level, with highest level in brain and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15208306}.
