N-glycosylated
''N''-linked glycosylation, is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), in a process called ''N''-glycosylation, studied in biochemistry. This type of linkage is important for both the structure and function of many eukaryotic proteins. The ''N''-linked glycosylation process occurs in eukaryotes and widely in archaea, but very rarely in bacteria. The nature of ''N''-linked glycans attached to a glycoprotein is determined by the protein and the cell in which it is expressed. It also varies across species. Different species synthesize different types of ''N''-linked glycan. Energetics of bond formation There are two types of bonds involved in a glycoprotein: bonds between the saccharides residues in the glycan and the linkage between the glycan chain and the protein molecule. The sugar moiety (chemistry), moie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
