uncharacterized fungal proteins similar to Post-GPI attachment to proteins factor 4. This subfamily contains uncharacterized fungal proteins with similarity to animal post-GPI attachment to proteins factor 4 (PGAP4), also known as post-GPI attachment to proteins GalNAc transferase 4 or transmembrane protein 246 (TMEM246). PGAP4 has been shown to be a Golgi-resident GPI-GalNAc transferase. Many eukaryotic proteins are anchored to the cell surface through glycolipid glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPIs have a conserved core but exhibit diverse N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) modifications. PGAP4 knockout cells lose GPI-GalNAc structures. PGAP4 is most likely involved in the initial steps of GPI-GalNAc biosynthesis. In contrast to other Golgi glycotransferases, it contains three transmembrane domains. Proteins from this subfamily contain the putative catalytic site of PGAP4 and may have similar activities.
