Nglikoziláció
Nglikoziláció is a biological process where carbohydrate molecules, called glycans, are attached to other molecules, typically proteins or lipids. This process is fundamental to many cellular functions and plays a crucial role in a wide array of biological phenomena. Glycans can be attached to proteins in two main ways: O-linked glycosylation, where the glycan is attached to the oxygen atom of a serine or threonine amino acid residue, and N-linked glycosylation, where the glycan is attached to the nitrogen atom of an asparagine amino acid residue. Glycolipids are formed when glycans are attached to lipid molecules.
The addition of glycans can significantly alter the properties and functions of the molecule to which they
Dysregulation of nglikoziláció has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disorders, and infectious diseases.
