Triton-X114 Partitioning is a Simple & Powerful Method for Isolation of GPI-Anchor Proteins.
Example of the Use of TX-114 Partitioning for GPI-Anchored Proteins:

GPI-Anchor Biosynthetic Pathway Was Mostly Elucidated by Thin-Layer Chromatography and Pulse-Chase Labelling: Studying GPI Biosynthesis invitro thin layer chromatography F 30 °C O add solvents cell membranes spin salts,buffers evaporate radiolabeled Sugar donor O F From Varki
Radiolabeling & TLC Were Used to Elucidate the GPI-Anchor Biosynthetic Pathway:

Conclusions: • GPI-Anchor’s Unique Structures Require Unique Approaches. • PI-PLC release from membranes is diagnostic for GPI-Anchors • Triton-X114 Partitioning is a Great Method to Start Purification of GPI-Anchored Proteins • Reductive Labeling of Anhydromannose after nitrous acid treatment is a powerful tool. • Aqueous HF releases GPI from protein. • Sizing and sequential use of glycosidases use same methods as other oligosaccharides. • Consensus sequence for predicting GPIs.
