CC   -!- FUNCTION: VSG FORMS A COAT ON THE SURFACE OF THE PARASITE. THE
CC       TYPANOSOME EVADES THE IMMUNE RESPONSE OF THE HOST BY EXPRESSING
CC       A SERIES OF ANTIGENICALLY DISTINCT VSGS FROM AN ESTIMATED 1000
CC       VSG GENES.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: ATTACHED TO THE MEMBRANE BY A GPI-ANCHOR.
CC       A SOLUBLE FORM IS RELASED FROM RUPTURED CELLS BY THE ACTION OF A
CC       PI-PLC.
