Glycosylation is a post-translational modification process in which a carbohydrate group, known as a glycan, is attached to a protein or lipid molecule. This process is crucial for various biological functions, including cell recognition, signaling, and immune response. Glycosylation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus, where specific enzymes catalyze the transfer of sugar molecules from nucleotide sugars to the acceptor molecule.
There are two main types of glycosylation: N-linked and O-linked. N-linked glycosylation involves the attachment of
Glycosylation plays a vital role in protein folding, stability, and function. It can influence protein-protein interactions,
