摘要: A large number of eukaryotic proteins have been shown to be anchored the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). This glycolipid anchor can serve as a substrate for anchor-specific phospholipases that convert GPI-anchored into soluble forms. Soluble forms many GPI identified in vivo connective tissue, plasma, and urine. The authors discovered mammalian plasma contains GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD). Because it recognizes portion conserved glycan core structure, all are potential substrates. report development murine monoclonal antibody specific one form human GPI-PLD immunohistochemical localization this enzyme mast cells.
