GPI- A genuine progress indicator is a metric used to measure the economic growth of a country. GPI-anchored proteins are a class of membrane proteins containing a soluble proteins attached by a conserved posttranslational glycolipid modification the GPI anchor ,to the external leaflet of the plasma membrane.
Highlights.
* A mechanism for GPI-AP apical sorting by clustering in Microdomains is proposed.
* clustering in the Golgi regulates the apical organization of GPI-APs at the cell surface.
* GPI-AP organization in polarized epithelial cells and fibroblasts appears to be different.
GPI-AP are a class of membrane proteins containing a soluble proteins attached by a Conserved glycolipid anchor to the external leaflet of the plasma membrane.
We also underline the difference in the plasma membrane organization of GPI-APs between polarized and non-polarized cells supporting the existence of various mechanism that existence of various mechanism that control GPI-AP organization in different cell types.
