Growth factor‐induced release of a glycosyl‐phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐linked protein from the HEp‐2 human carcinoma cell line [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1990 The release of a GPI‐linked oncofetal protein (PLAP) from HEp‐2 cells has been studied as an indicator of endogenous PI‐specific PLC activation. A non‐hydrolysable GTP analogue, EGF and insulin all produced a dose‐dependent release of PLAP from these cells.

PredGPI: a GPI-anchor predictor
BMC Bioinformatics, 2008 Background Several eukaryotic proteins associated to the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane carry a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, which is linked to the C-terminal residue after a proteolytic cleavage occurring at the so called ω ...

Genome-wide prediction of the polymorphic Ser gene family in Tetrahymena thermophila based on motif analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Even though antigenic variation is employed among parasitic protozoa for host immune evasion, Tetrahymena thermophila, a free-living ciliate, can also change its surface protein antigens.

The trypanosomal transferrin receptor of trypanosoma brucei : a review [PDF]
, 2019 Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the

Proteomic Analysis to Identify Tightly-Bound Cell Wall Protein in Rice Calli. [PDF]
, 2015 Rice is a model plant widely used for basic and applied research programs. Plant cell wall proteins play key roles in a broad range of biological processes. However, presently, knowledge on the rice cell wall proteome is rudimentary in nature.

Lactoferrin efficiently counteracts the inflammation-induced changes of the iron homeostasis system in macrophages [PDF]
, 2017 Human lactoferrin (hLf), an 80-kDa multifunctional iron-binding cationic glycoprotein, is constitutively secreted by exocrine glands and by neutrophils during inflammation. hLf is recognized as a key element in the host immune defense system.

A transferrin-like GPI-linked iron-binding protein in detergent-insoluble noncaveolar microdomains at the apical surface of fetal intestinal epithelial cells. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1995 A GPI-anchored 80-kD protein was found to be the major component of detergent-insoluble complexes, prepared from fetal porcine small intestine, constituting about 25% of the total amount of protein. An antibody was raised to the 80-kD protein, and by immunogold electron microscopy of ultracryosections of mucosal tissue, the protein was localized to the
