Identification of a Golgi GPI-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase with tandem transmembrane regions in the catalytic domain

Mammalian GPI membrane anchors are modified by GalNAc to confer structural diversity but the biosynthetic pathway is poorly understood. Here, the authors identify and characterize the Golgi-resident GPI-GalNAc transferase PGAP4, providing insights into the initial step of GPI-GalNAc biosynthesis.
