Abstract excerpt
Mannosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy D-mannose) is shown here to block the incorporation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) into GPI-anchored proteins. The amino sugar drastically reduced the surface expression of a recombinant GPI-anchored protein in polarized MDCK cells, converted this apical membrane-bound protein to an unpolarized secretory product and blocked the expression of endogenous GPI-anchored proteins....
