Figure 3. GPI anchor biosynthesis in the Golgi and trafficking to the plasma membrane. Steps for GPI anchor modification and trafficking from the ER to the plasma membrane are shown[44]. The yellow box denotes an N-acetylgalactosamine, whereas the yellow circle denotes a galactose. GPI-APs preferentially reside in lipid raft-rich areas, as is depicted both in the Golgi and at the plasma membrane.
