Abstract excerpt
The cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase, NGLY1 in mammals) is an enzyme that removes N-glycans from misfolded glycoproteins. NGLY1 contributes to cytosolic glycan degradation (non-lysosomal glycan degradation) and is one of the quality control systems for newly synthesized proteins, i.e., ER-associated degradation (ERAD). NGLY1 is also responsible for the activation of a transcription factor, NFE2L1, which...
