Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface proteins lack transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. For some of them, such as CD14 , CD16b and CD87, it could be demonstrated recently that they are phys ically and functionally associated with complement receptor type 3 (CR 3, CD11b/CD18). Also, there are indications that in certain cells thes e GPI proteins employ CR3 as an adapter for signal transduction across the plasma membrane.
