Proteins anchored in membranes by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) are widely distributed, but the function of this unusual anchor is a puzzle. Recent evidence shows that these proteins can associate with membrane lipids in special ways. One function of GPI anchorage may be to allow proteins to interact with specialized membrane domains. |
