The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout
In the fourth step of GPI synthesis, an acyl group (typically palmitate) is transferred from acyl CoA to glucosaminyl-PI. Mutagenesis and cloning studies suggest that a single protein, PIG-W, catalyzes this reaction (Murakami et al. 2003).
