Glycosylation related actions of glycodelin: gamete, cumulus cell, immune cell and clinical associations
28 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Glycodelin is an example of a glycoprotein whose complex-type glycans mediate biological actions in human reproduction and immune reactions. Being attached to an identical protein backbone, glycodelin oligosaccharides vary significantly from one reproductive tissue to another and have an effect on its own secretion and role in cell communication. For instance, uterine glycodelin-A inhibits sperm-oocyte...
