Structure, function and pathology of O-mannosyl glycans.

Abstract excerpt

Animal cells contain many glycoproteins, i.e. , proteins with covalently liked sugar chains. The major glycans of glycoproteins can be classified into two groups, N-glycans and O-glycans, according to their glycan-peptide linkage regions. Development of sensitive methods for the analyses of glycan structures have revealed a new type of glycosidic linkage to the peptide portion, the O-mannosyl linkage, in mammals,...
