Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. The 145 kDa plasma membrane form of GC-C contains sialic acid and galactose residues, while a differencially glycosylated 130 Kda form is a high mannose form that is resident in the endoplasmic reticulum and may serve as the precursor for the cell surface form.
