glycanprocessing
Glycan processing refers to the series of enzymatic modifications that occur on glycans, which are carbohydrate chains attached to proteins, lipids, or other biomolecules. This process is crucial for the proper folding, stability, and function of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Glycan processing typically occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus, where enzymes catalyze the addition, removal, and modification of sugar residues.
The initial step in glycan processing is the addition of a glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide
Glycan processing is essential for various biological functions, including cell adhesion, signaling, and immune recognition. Abnormalities
