Schematic representation of a GPI-anchored protein. The GPI-anchored protein (GPI-AP) is anchored to the head group of a phosphatidylinositol (PI) lipid via a GPI anchor. This anchor has a conserved core domain consisting of ethanolamine-PO4-6Manα1-2Manα1-6Manα1-4GlcNα1-6myo-inositol-1-PO4-lipid [64]. The mannose, glucosamine, and inositol groups are represented by black, green, and red aromatic rings, respectively.
