GPI transamidase component PIG-S is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIGS gene.This gene encodes a protein that is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes an essential component of the multisubunit enzyme GPI transamidase.
