Abstract excerpt
Thy-1 antigen is anchored in the cell membrane by glycophosphatidyl inositol linkages instead of hydrophobic protein domains. The hydrophobic portion of Thy-1 antigen is cleaved by putative "transamidase." Mutated genes were constructed by using site-directed mutagenesis. One mutant gene codes Thy-1 antigen lacking carboxy terminal amino acids from 112Cys to 143Leu including cell membrane binding amino acid...
