Custom N-Linked Oligosaccharide Synthesis Service
N-linked oligosaccharides perform important roles in protein folding and stability, biosynthetic quality control, and sorting events in the secretory pathway of many N-glycosylated proteins. Equipped with world-leading technology platforms and professional scientific staff in carbohydrate synthesis, Creative Biolabs has accumulated extensive experience in custom N-linked oligosaccharides synthesis service. We offer our clients high-quality N-linked oligosaccharides from milligrams to grams scale in a short time with competitive pricing. Through our high-efficient system, clients could accelerate their research by reducing project costs and timelines.
The Role of N-Linked Oligosaccharides
Typified by the attachment of the glycan to an asparagine side chain of the protein, the N-linked glycosylation, is by far the most common. The consensus sequence for N-glycosylation is Asn-X-Ser/Thr, where X is any amino acid other than proline. The asparagine is linked to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues. Additional sugar residues in the glycan depend on whether glycosylation is high-mannose hybrid or complex type.
N-linked glycoproteins include such biologically important molecules as cell-surface receptors, cell-adhesion molecules, immunoglobulins, and other serum proteins, and tumor antigens. N-linked oligosaccharides perform important roles in those glycoprotein function. 1) N-linked oligosaccharides enhance the solubility and stability of the proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi and on the outside of the cell membrane. 2) N-linked oligosaccharides are used as signal molecules during protein folding and transport. 3) Most importantly, N-linked oligosaccharides on completely folded proteins are involved in a wide range of processes, including determining the specificity of membrane receptors in innate immunity or in cell-to-cell interactions, and changing the properties of hormones and secreted proteins. Statistical analyses show that instances of N-glycosylation in eukaryotic glycoproteins easily out-number O-glycosylation. In general, N-glycans are bulkier and more homogeneous in nature than O-glycans. The observations that so many eukaryotic proteins are glycosylated and that N-linked glycosylation is more frequently observed in proteins suggest that N-linked glycans are a prime requisite for maintaining the ‘fold–function’ balance in many proteins.
