Dysfunction of peroxisome cause peroxisomal disorders. I analyzed the structure of glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI) anchor in patients of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctate(RCDP) and Zellweger syndrome. These patients are defective in alkyl-acyl form GPI anchor and expressing diacyl form GPI only. The expression levels of GPI-anchored protein increased in the mutant cells of responsible gene of RCDP. I found the involvements between peroxisomal disorders and functions of GPI-anchored protein.
