Abstract excerpt
It is estimated that 0.5% of all mammalian proteins have a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor. GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) play key roles, particularly in embryogenesis, neurogenesis, immune response and signal transduction. Due to their involvement in many pathways and developmental events, defects in the genes involved in their synthesis and processing can result in a variety of genetic disorders for...
