Which statement is false about lipid-anchored membrane proteins?
A)They are found on either leaflet of the plasma membrane.
B)Like integral membrane proteins,they are permanently associated with the membrane.
C)The covalent link to the membrane can involve the phosphate group of the lipid anchor.
D)The protein portion that can be removed by treatment with phospholipase most resembles an integral membrane protein.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid-anchored membrane proteins are not primarily characterized by a portion that resembles an integral membrane protein, which typically spans the membrane. Instead, they are anchored to the membrane by a lipid moiety, and their removal typically involves breaking the lipid-protein linkage, not traits associated with integral membrane proteins which are embedded within the membrane.
