asparagine residue

31
New cards

real like example of N-glycosidic

LDL receptor

32
New cards

real like example of O-glycosidic

salivary mucins

33
New cards

different types of N-glycosidic

high mannose and complex (tetra-antennary type)

34
New cards

N-glycosidic also called

N-linked oligosaccharide

35
New cards

O-glycosidic also called

O-linked oligosaccharide

36
New cards

sugars in O-linked oligosaccharides cause

repel force thus prevent protein formation, which makes mucuous and protects GI
