Over 100 glycosylphosphatidylinositol‐anchored proteins (GPI‐APs) are encoded in the mammalian genome. It is not well understood how these proteins are targeted and translocated to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we reveal that many GPI‐APs, such as CD59, CD55, and CD109, utilize human SND2 (hSND2)‐dependent ER targeting machinery. We also found that signal recognition particle receptors seem to cooperate with hSND2 to target GPI‐APs to the ER. Both the N‐terminal signal sequence and C‐terminal GPI attachment signal of GPI‐APs contribute to ER targetingviathe hSND2‐dependent pathway. Particularly, the hydrophobicity of the C‐terminal GPI attachment signal acts as the determinant of hSND2 dependency. Our results explain the route and mechanism of the ER targeting of GPI‐APs in mammalian cells.
