Official Full Name: piggyBac transposable element derived 5
The piggyBac family of proteins found in a variety of animals are transposases related to the transposase from the canonical piggyBac transposon of the moth Trichoplusia ni. This family also includes genes in several genomes, including humans, that appear to be derived from the piggyBac transposon. This gene belongs to the piggyBac transposable element-derived (PGBD) gene subfamily. The PGBD protein appears to be novel, with no apparent relationship to other transposases or other known protein families.
