A GPI processing phospholipase A2, PGAP6, modulates Nodal signaling in embryos by shedding CRIPTO
Lee et al. show that PGAP6 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase A2 expressed on the cell surface. PGAP6 selectively acts on a GPI anchor of CRIPTO, but not its close homologue CRYPTIC, and modulates Nodal signaling during embryonic development.
