The tyrosine-based sorting motifs of relevant transmembrane proteins
| CD1a* | TM-RKRCFC |
| CD1b | TM-RRRSYQNIP |
| CD1c | TM-KKHCSYQDIL |
| CD1d | TM-KRQTSYQGVL |
| LAMP-1 | TM-RKRSHAGYQTI |
| LAMP-2 | TM-KHHHAGYEQF |
| CD63 | TM-KSIRSGYEVM |
| M6PR | TM-24aa-YKYSKV-135aa |
| Transferrin receptor | 17aa-LSYTRF-45aa-TM |
The sequences of the cytoplasmic tails are depicted for CD1a, CD1b, CD1c, and CD1d, lysosomal proteins LAMP1, LAMP2, and CD63, and early endosomal transferrin receptor, late endosomal CI mannose-6-phosphate receptor. TM denotes the transmembrane domain and the YXXØ motif is underlined. The tyrosine (Y) and the bulky hydrophobic residues are bold typed.
Note CD1a lacks the tyrosine motif.
