glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored lipid protein transfer 1
Curator Summary
Encodes LTPG1, a lipid transfer protein with a predicted GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol)-anchor domain. Localized in the plasma membrane. Disruption of the LTPG1 gene causes alterations of cuticular lipid composition, but no significant changes on total wax and cutin monomer loads are seen.
