Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in mammalian cells play a role in adhesion and signaling. They are sorted in the trans-Golgi network into glycosphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich microdomains termed rafts. Such rafts can be isolated from many cell types including epithelial cells, neural cells, and lymphocytes. In polarized cells, the rafts segregate in distinct regions of the cell. The rafts constitute platforms for signal transduction via raft-associated srcfamily tyrosine kinases. This review compares the sorting, distribution, and signaling of GPI-anchored proteins and rafts in epithelial cells, lymphocytes, and neural cells. A possible involvement of rafts in distinct diseases is also addressed.

Key Words: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor • Raft • Adhesion • Signaling • Neuron • Lymphocyte
