Abstract excerpt
Glycoproteins containing Galalpha1-4Gal (galabiose) had been rarely found in vertebrates, except in a few species of birds and amphibians. We had previously reported that pigeon (Columba livia) egg white and serum glycoproteins are rich in N-glycans with Galalpha1-4Gal at nonreducing termini. To investigate the origin of Galalpha1-4Gal expression in avian evolution, we examined the presence of Galalpha1-4Gal...
