Abstract

Abstract: Glycophosphatidylinositol anchors of membrane-bound proteins are thought to comprise a common pentasaccharide core containing mannan, glucosamine, and inositol residues. A synthetic route to this core is described. In addition, the complete heptasaccharide moiety of the rat brain Thy-1 membrane anchor, the first mammalian membrane anchor to be characterized, has been synthesized. In the case of the Thy-1 ...
