Carbohydrate structures of haptoglobin in sera of healthy people and a patient with congenital disorder of glycosylation.

Abstract excerpt

Haptoglobin is one of acute phase glycoproteins often used as markers in glycopathology studies. In this work the oligosaccharide structures of haptoglobin from 'healthy' subjects have been studied in detail, taking into consideration the possible dependence of glycosylation on the phenotype. About 75% of charged haptoglobin glycans were of biantennary complex structure, and some of them lacked one terminal...
