Abstract excerpt
The glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (PI) membrane anchors of several proteins contain 1-alkyl-2-acyl-glycerophosphoinositol. Although this PI analog has never been found free in cells, the presence of "alkyl-PI" as a component of some membrane anchors suggests its existence. The resistance of ether linkages to cleavage by mild alkali treatment was used to detect possible alkyl chains in the [3H]inositol-labeled...
