Many of the protein drugs on the market are glycoproteins, including hormones, cytokines and monoclonal antibodies. Two aspects of glycosylation are particularly relevant to their therapeutic activity ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to analyzing the low-abundant N-glycoproteome in human blood plasma (HBP), which could significantly advance the discovery of plasma ...

Certain minuscule cancer signals easily evade detection, but perhaps no longer. Biomarkers made of glycoproteins are bound to get snared in the tentacles of this chemical octopus that chemists devised ...

PROTEINS containing carbohydrate are widely distributed in animal tissues and include such diverse compounds as serum proteins, mucins, blood-group substances, pituitary hormones and connective-tissue ...

Sialic acids, also referred to as neuraminic acids, are critical to glycoprotein bioavailability, function, stability, and metabolism. When present, these carbohydrates occupy terminal positions of ...

Utilizing precision fermentation to produce immune-system-supporting glycoproteins found in breast milk, Helaina is bridging the gap between traditional formula and breastfeeding. Now the company has ...

An international team has for the first time prepared homogeneous N-glycoproteins of the type produced by eukaryotic organisms, including humans, from prokaryotes. In those protein molecules, branched ...

Several of the plasma glycoproteins demonstrate specific binding properties, being responsible for the transport of such materials as copper (ceruloplasmin), iron (transferrin), hemoglobin ...
