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.

PGAP4 is most likely involved in the initial steps of GPI-GalNAc biosynthesis. In contrast to other Golgi glycotransferases (GTs), it contains three transmembrane domains. Structural modeling suggests that PGAP4 adopts a GT-A fold split by an insertion of tandem transmembrane domains.
