I'm using Triton X-114 to purify proteins membrane I'm trying to purified GPI anchors proteins.The analysis by mass spectrometry / bioinformatics reveals several cytosolic proteins.
Adam is right, membrane fraction purification should be the solution. Moreover I found this:
Based on this phase separation method and the earlier observation that detergents with low cmc values (such as Triton X-100 and Triton X-114) are relatively inefficient in solubilizing the GPI-anchored proteins, Hooper and Bashir developed a technique of differential solubilization and temperature-induced phase separation in Triton X-114 to distinguish between the GPI-anchored proteins and those anchored by a simple membrane-spanning polypeptide.
Might I suggest a recent paper that describes the separation of the membrane proteins from the GPI-anchored proteins using phase-separation as Cedric has mentioned (see attached). You may also consider collecting the GPI-anchored proteins by activatin phospholipase C, collecting the supernatant (therefore removing the cell bodies and contaminants) and concentrating the supernatant (A salt-ethanol wash of your cells and then freeze-drying the collected supernatant for analysis). Hopefully this is helpful.

As Megan mentioned, GPI anchored proteins are cleaved from plasma membrane by phospholipase C. The cleaved GPI-anchored proteins are partitioned into aqueous phase by Triton X-114 phase separation. I do not know whether commercial anti-CRD (cross-reacting determinant) antibody is available now. This antibody recognizes a part of remained GPI anchor. If you get, you can purify cleaved GPI-anchored proteins by immunoprecipitation.
