Protein glycosylation, a critical post-translational modification, plays an essential role in understanding the varied functions of proteins across physiological and pathological processes. Glycosylation of cell membrane and secreted proteins primarily involves O-type and N-type glycosylation. The biological functions of Mucin-type O-glycans glycosylation, in particular, remain incompletely understood. Mucin-type O-glycans, characterized by the initial attachment of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to serine/threonine residues, are the most common type of O-glycosylation in the human body. They play crucial roles in various biological processes, including protein stabilization, cell signaling, and pathogen binding. Thus, exploring its physiological roles in the body and its relationships with diseases represents a key area of focus in advancements in glycomics. At MtoZ Biolabs, we provide comprehensive mucin type of O-glycan analysis service based on liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) platform to reveal the complexity and diversity of O-glycan structures.
