THE CRITICAL FUNCTION OF CO-TRANSLATIONAL GLYCOSYLATION ON PROTEIN FOLDING AND SECRETION
Co-translational glycosylation is a crucial post-translational modification process that plays a significant role in protein folding and secretion. This process involves the addition of oligosaccharide chains to nascent polypeptides as they are being synthesized by ribosomes. The glycosylation of proteins…
BILE SECRETION AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE
Introduction Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. Bile is composed of various substances, including bile salts, cholesterol,…
GASTRIC ACID SECRETION AND PEPTIC ULCERATION
Introduction Gastric acid secretion plays an important role in the digestive process by breaking down food and activating digestive enzymes. However, excessive acid production can lead to the development of peptic ulcers, which are sores that form in the lining…
