Region-Specific Cell Membrane N-Glycome of Functional Mouse Brain Areas Revealed by nanoLC-MS Analysis

N-glycosylation is a ubiquitous posttranslational modification that affects protein structure and function, including those of the central nervous system. N-glycans attached to cell membrane proteins play crucial roles in all aspects of biology, including embryogenesis, development, cell-cell recognition and adhesion, and cell signaling and communication. Although brain function and behavior are known to be regulated by the N-glycosylation state...
