= Lipid-anchored protein
{wiki}
A <lipid-anchored protein> attaches through a covalently linked <lipid>. The anchor inserts into the <lipid bilayer>; the <polypeptide chain> need not cross it. This is a description of attachment rather than a synonym for <transmembrane protein>.<The Cell: A Molecular Approach, 2nd edition by Geoffrey M.
