The glycosylation of proteins to create glycoproteins is very common and has been linked to changes in cell adhesion, cell signaling, protein folding and receptor activation processes ...
Proteins directed towards the ER undergo homogenous glycosylation ... that need chaperons for folding. These glycoproteins have a pattern of carbohydrates attached to the nitrogen atom, similar ...
Many membrane proteins also require post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation ... the integrated proteins undergo endogenous folding and post-translational modifications in their ...
