Glycan Analysis Service
Glycosylation is a crucial post-translational modification of proteins, significantly influencing various physiological and pathological processes. It is implicated in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and congenital glycosylation deficiencies. Protein glycosylation primarily includes N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation. N-glycosylation involves the attachment of N-acetylglucosamine to an asparagine (Asn) residue within a specific Asn-X-Ser/Thr residues, where X can be any amino acid residue except Pro. Conversely, O-glycosylation, characterized by shorter glycan chains, involves the attachment to serine (Ser) or threonine (Thr) residues and exhibits greater structural diversity.
