Is a tagged protein more prone to degradation? (Lysis protocols??)

Is your protein in the membrane?. I did in the past western blots trying 
to detect GPCR tagged with Flag, HA or His epitopes in expression 
systems such as Cos or 293 and I got nothing. By that time I thought 
either the protein was degraded during membrane isolation, was not 
completely solubilized or the antibodies were not strong enought to 
resist the washing steps I was using because the receptor was expressed 
in binding assays (>1 pmol/mg prot)
