The hydrophobic mannoside Man alpha 1-6Man alpha 1-S-(CH2)7-CH3 acts as an acceptor for the UDP-Gal:glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor alpha 1,3-galactosyltransferase of Trypanosoma brucei.

The variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) of Trypanosoma brucei are attached to the plasma membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchor. This anchor contains the core sequence ethanolamine-PO4-6Man alpha 1-2Man alpha 1-6Man alpha 1-4GlcN alpha 1-6myo-inositol, which is conserved...
