Interacting selectively and non-covalently with phospholipids, a class of lipids containing phosphoric acid as a mono- or diester. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. GPI anchors serve to attach membrane proteins to the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any inositol-containing glycerophospholipid. Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and its phosphorylated derivatives are collectively referred to as phosphoinositides (PIs).
