MECHANISMS OF BIOSYNTHESIS AND INSIGHT INTO GLYCAN FUNCTION
Glycans are complex molecules composed of sugars that play crucial roles in various biological processes, including cell-cell recognition, signaling, and immune response. The biosynthesis of glycans involves a series of enzymatic reactions that assemble sugar monomers into diverse structures with…
DISEASE MODELS INVOLVING GENE MUTATION AND KNOCKOUT IN THE N-LINKED GLYCAN BIOSYNTHESIS PATHWAY
The N-linked glycan biosynthesis pathway is a complex process that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins in eukaryotic cells. Any disruptions or mutations in this pathway can lead to a wide range of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative…
CELLULAR ACTION OF GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE ENZYMES FOR O-LINKED AND N-LINKED GLYCAN BIOSYNTHESIS
Glycosyltransferases are enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of glycoproteins, which are proteins that have sugar molecules attached to them. These enzymes play a crucial role in the addition of sugar moieties to proteins, thereby influencing various cellular processes such as…
