N-glycosylation
N-glycosylation, the most common form of glycosylation, is the attachment of sugar molecules (also known as glycans) to a protein. This type of modification is referred to as a post-translational modification, as it occurs following the translation of the protein from mRNA. Different types of sugars can be added to a protein, which will in turn affect function.
Why is N-glycosylation important?
N-glycosylation significantly contributes to protein functionality and stability, influencing how long a therapeutic molecule is present in the body, how active it is, and where it is targeted to. By controlling N-glycosylation, we can tap into the full potential of therapeutic drugs, delivering better medicines to patients.
